The Ethiopian National Defense Forces announced on Wednesday that they had killed about 462 Al-Shabaab fighters after a failed attack by the armed group.
The forces said in a press statement that the fighters were killed in the town of “Rabbouri” in southwestern Somalia after they attempted to attack a unit of the National Defense Forces that was present in that area.
According to the statement issued by the Ethiopian forces, the armed group attempted to use 12 suicide bombers and three explosive-laden vehicles in the failed attack.
The same statement stated that the Ethiopian army had previously thwarted several attempts by Al-Shabaab to infiltrate eastern Ethiopia to carry out cross-border attacks.
