Jubbaland security officials claimed that they have diffused landmine weighing almost 40 kg planted in a key road normally frequented by joint forces of Jubbaland and SNA during security operations against Al-shabab fighters in the region.
The officials added that the landmine could have claimed the lives of the forces and the innocent civilians in the area.
“ The government forces have peacefully averted potential attack from the discovered landmine” government officials said during the exercise.
