MOGADISHU – The Somali National Army (SNA) has announced that ten al-Shabab militants have been killed in ongoing security operations in Lower Jubba in the country's south.
On Tuesday, the SNA commanders in charge of the operation told state-run Radio Mogadishu that some terrorists were also wounded in the sting operation that took place in Yontoy, Raynerow, and Farbulay.
"In special security operations conducted by the SNA in Yontoy, Raynerow, and Farbulay in Lower Jubba area on Tuesday, ten al-Shabab terrorists were killed, and several were wounded and seized," reports quote.
The latest assault on the insurgents came just hours after security troops repelled an attack on their military facility in Hudur, Southwest State, killing five al-Shabab extremists early Tuesday. The terror group, which has increased its near-daily attacks during the election process, did not respond immediately.
Prime Minister Mohamed Roble met with senior security and African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) commanders on Tuesday, instructing them to improve the country's security. During the discussion, Roble told the officials that they needed to step up counter-terrorism efforts in the country and keep the capital stable ahead of the parliamentary speaker and presidential elections.
