Somalia: Fresh airstrike leaves several Al-Shabaab fighters dead
|
[Garowe] A new Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
in Somalia left several al-Shabaab
... the personification of Somali state failure...
fighters dead, reports indicate, just hours after the group killed several foreign soldiers in one of the training camps in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
Military sources told Garowe Online that the new airstrike was activated in Jamame township within Lower Jubba, killing at least 20 fighters who have been conducting terror activities in the Horn of Africa nation, particularly in southern regions.
This is the fifth airstrike this year in Somalia with the US military increasing intensity in the fight against al-Shabaab, a group that has been pushing for the ouster of the UN-backed federal government of Somalia for the last 17 years.
Along with the Somali National Army (SNA), the US Army usually gives aerial surveillance and support in operations against the al-Shabaab Death Eaters, who have been suffering losses following spirited operations in recent months across the country.
The airstrike, even though it hasn't been confirmed by the US Africa Command, comes just after four United Arab Emirates soldiers and another one from Bahrain were killed by Alshabab in General Gordon's military training base within Somalia.
