The air raid is reported to have targeted al-Shabaab members in a base.

Also, the news adds to this that the Somali armed forces swept into Tooratoorow, after which they carried out a serious operation, according to local sources.

It is not clear the official casualties resulting from the attack and the subsequent operation, and there is no statement from the Somali government or al-Shabaab.

The attack comes as the newly appointed AFRICOM chief has vowed to intensify the fight against al-Shabaab.

The Somali air force is not currently operational and has no aircraft. It is composed of approximately 170 personnel: 40-50 officers, ranging from second lieutenant to colonel, and 120-130 non-commissioned officers and airmen.
