myrmidons.
The jets fired several missiles at the vehicle travelling between Haramka and Kunyabarow villages, two Al-Shabaab-held areas in Middle Jubba region of southern Somalia.
The air raid is suspected to be conducted by Kenyan airforce as part of the fight against the al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab group in the neighbouring country.

and killed several al-Shabaab members and maimed a number of others.

troops are battling Al-Shabaab in the south and central Somalia, as the group still controls large parts of the Horn of Africa country.
