Airstrike kills 10 in central Somalia
2016-03-07
An airstrike by unidentified Ruritanian fighter jets has claimed the lives of at least ten people, including unarmed civilians in central Somalia, an senior official said on Sunday.

Confirming the incident, Bulo-Burde district commissioner Abdulaziz Durow, said the warplanes bombed Al shabaab-held Qob-Yahas, Ran Gobo and Raso, all are located in the west of the town.

“The military jets pounded on different Al shabaab positions near the town, and killed at least ten people, most of them innocent civilians,” said Bulo-Burde district administrator.

In the past, Ruritanian Kenyan military warplanes killed dozens of ‘civilians’ in Southern Somalia in airborne attacks aimed at the Al-Qaeda-linked Al shabaab fighters.
