Airstrike Destroys Al-Shabaab Vehicles and Weapons Cache in Central Somalia: Government
|
[ShabelleMedia] Somali government forces, in coordination with international partners, carried out an Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
in the central district of Aadan-Yabaal in Middle Shabelle, destroying vehicles loaded with explosives and a weapons cache belonging to the holy warrior group al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
, officials said Sunday.
Government security officials confirmed that the strike targeted a site where al-Shabaab fighters were preparing vehicle-borne improvised bombs (VBIEDs) for potential attacks against civilian and military targets.
"The precision airstrike successfully destroyed several explosive-laden vehicles and a key weapons depot used by the terrorists," a senior government security officer told Radio Shabelle on condition of anonymity.
The official added that the operation was part of a wider military campaign aimed at weakening al-Shabaab’s operational capacity in central and southern Somalia.
