A fierce battle erupted today, Monday, between Al-Shabaab fighters on the one hand, and federal forces and Jubaland state forces on the other, in the state's Lower Juba region.
The battle came, according to media reports, after the joint forces attacked Al-Shabaab bases in the villages of the Somali border town of Dobley.
Reports indicated that both sides used heavy and medium weapons, but the human losses resulting from this battle are still unknown.
The Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Shabab has stepped up its attacks on towns along the Somali-Kenyan border, killing nearly 20 security officers in recent weeks.
