KDF, Jubbaland troops attack Govt soldiers near Kismayo
2015-11-05
Non-WoT: this is just the usual tribal nonsense. I'm a little surprised the Kenyan forces took part, but it's wheels-within-wheels in that part of the world.
A senior Somali military officer says Kenyan Defense force soldiers, along with allied Jubbaland troops have attacked SNA base located in the outskirts of Kismayo city.

Abdirashid Ma’lin Gaas, the military officer said that their Saba Ashraf army base came under fire by the allied forces, sparking a fierce clash that caused unspecified number of casualties.

The officer has told Radio Shabelle by phone that the SNA have repulsed the attack and inflicted heavy damage on the KDF and Jubbaland forces.

Several Jubbaland soldiers injured in the fighting were admitted in a hospital in Kismayo city, according to Abdirashid Ma’alin Gaas.

Meanwhile, the army commanders of Jubbaland troops were unavailable to reach on the phone for comments of the attack and the causality figures.
