| 2016-02-21 |
| Kenyan defense forces (KDF) serving under African Union mission (AMISOM) have launched an airstrike on Al shabaab base in Gedo region, south west of Somalia. KDF jets fired four missiles on the militants’ base in Tulo Barwaqo village, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) away from Garbaharey, the regional capital of Gedo, according to Aden Sirad, the deputy Garbaharey DC. Details of the casualties on Al shabaab fighters in the area is still sketchy. Since El Adde attack in January 15, KDF stepped up their aerial bombings in militant strongholds southern Somalia in a revenge for the killing of Kenyan soldiers by Al shabaab militants. |
