Mogadishu – A statement released by the Somali government and broadcast on the state-run television channel has reported that an airstrike was carried out last night targeting facilities located in the district of Aadan Yabaal in the Middle Shabelle region.
According to the government’s statement, two facilities used by the Al-Shabaab group in the Howlwadaag neighborhood of Aadan Yabaal were destroyed during the strike. The sites were reportedly used for preparing combat vehicles and storing weapons.
“One of the targeted facilities was said to contain vehicles rigged with explosives, and the site was seen burning intensely after it was hit in the precision operation,” the government statement said.
The Somali government also previously claimed that an earlier airstrike conducted a few nights ago in the same Aadan Yabaal district killed several Al-Shabaab commanders and fighters.
