2016-03-21
Ruritanian Unidentified fighters jets struck a training camp for Al shabaab in southern Somalia, the latest in series of aerial bombardment in the region since El Adde attack in January 15, 2016. The warplanes have bombed Sindigow village, an Al shabaab controlled rural area located between Qoqani and Afmadow towns in Lower Jubba region, causing unknown casualties.

Jubbaland state army commanders in the region, told Radio Shabelle that they are figuring out the casualty numbers on Al shabaab militants as a result of the airstrike on Sindigow village.

Over the past few month, the Al Qaeda-linked Al shabaab fighters have been carrying out attacks against Jubbaland and Kenyan army bases in southern Somalia.
