Somali troops with the support of foreign allies attack Al-Shabaab base
2024-01-28
[ShabelleMedia] The forces of the Federal Government of Somalia with the help of their foreign allies carried out a planned operation in the Buq Aqable area of ​​the Hiran region.

The operation was said to have taken place in a garage where the group used to organize kabooms in the country.

A statement issued by the government said that the operation was successful and many vehicles and members of al-Shabaab
... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
were leveled at the targeted garage.

The statement from the Somali government did not detail the total number of casualties resulting from the operation that took place today in the Buq Aqable area of ​​the Hiran region, but it is expected that the government will detail it in the next few hours.

This operation coincides with last night a similar operation carried out by the government forces and international friends in a garage and a house where members of al-Shabaab lived in the Galhareeri district of the Galgaduud region.
A useful clarification, indeed. I was concerned.
