KISMAYO (Halbeeg News) – Jubbaland regional forces backed by Somali elite troops have destroyed al-Shabaab base in southern Somalia, the army confirmed.
In a statement, Somali National Army (SNA) said its forces conducted covert security operations against Al-shabaab fighters in an area near Bulo-Haji village.
“Somali National Army’s commandos (DANAB) and regional forces of #Jubbaland State have destroyed Alshabab hideouts near Bulo-Haji village under Kismayo district of Lower Jubba region, on Thursday,” the statement reads in part.
The development comes a day after NISA claimed killing 12 of the most wanted Al-Shabaab operatives in Mogadishu in an operation.
The intelligence agency further said the operation targeted 15 of the most wanted terror group members but 12 were killed in the night raid.
However, the force did not specify exactly where the operation was carried out nor if the other three were nabbed or managed to escape the police dragnet.
NISA has continued to up its operations in Mogadishu following last week’s horrific bombing in Mogadishu which claimed the lives of 8 people, school children included.
