MOGADISHU, Somalia – A fresh airstrike was reported in central Somalia targeting Al-Shabaab base following the visit by US Africa command to Mogadishu last week.
The raid is the second in Galhareeri within 4 days, and it is said that it was targeted at a house where members of the Al-Shabaab lived and a center where the group manufactures explosives.
A statement issued by the government said that the attack inflicted a heavy blow on the group, and many members were killed at the same time.
“The militias were dealt a heavy blow in this attack, which was reported by the National Army and the residents, and all the areas where the operation was carried out were razed to the ground. Recently, a terrorist radio station, a car repair garage, and a house where militiamen lived were razed to the ground. “The group is fighting against life,” the statement from the government said.
However, in the previous attack that took place in Galhareeri last Tuesday, the federal government said that 30 members of Al-Shabaab were killed, including leaders, militiamen, journalists, and technicians of the group responsible for making the explosions, which included foreigners.
