Operations continue against Al-Shabaab in Jubaland state

 
Reports from Jubbaland state in the far south of Somalia indicate a new battle between security forces and Al-Shabaab militia.

The battle, which comes within the framework of the ongoing operations against Al-Shabaab in the state, took place in an area 45 km east of the town of “Afmadou” in the Lower Juba region.

Some officials in the state of Jubbaland indicated that an explosion targeted government forces, but did not reveal the losses resulting from it, and the victims of the last battle were not officially announced.

Dozens of Al-Shabaab fighters were killed in recent days by Somali forces' fire and raids carried out by US drones during the ongoing operations in Jubaland.
