MATABAN [SMN] – The Somali national army [SNA] backed by Galmudug forces repulsed Al Shabaab attack in the Mataban district in the Hiran region on Wednesday.

The local residents reported that the operation was led by senior officials, district administration, and officials including the district commissioner of Guri El.

The allied forces have been conducting operations in Mataban district and nearby areas against Al-Shabaab to regain control of small villages still under the militants’ control.

Galmudug has been hit by Al-Shabaab attacks for years as local Militia Ahlu Sunna has recently attempted to capture Dhusamareb city but was repulsed.
