members who were at their base in the Barag Gurgurte area on the west side of Harardhere town in the Mudug region, where al-Shabaab bully boyz were gathering.

"The operation killed 33 al-Shabaab fighters and their command base was overran by the allied troops, who are chasing the remnants from the rural areas," said the Somali military.

The operation coincides with the al-Shabaab leaving the areas of Dumaye and Dabagale in the south of the Mudug region after the SNA forces and the locals started operations there.

The Govt forces in villages and districts of Mudug, Galgadud, and Hiraan regions have resumed operations against the al-Shabaab, which has been on hiatus for the past months.
