Heavy fighting is currently underway in the Masajid Cali Gaduud area of Middle Shabelle region, as Somali National Army forces engage in a fierce battle with Al-Shabaab militants.
According to reports, the conflict began when elite units from the Somali National Army—specifically the Danab and Gorgor forces—launched an offensive on Masajid Cali Gaduud, a location where Al-Shabaab fighters had been based.
Local sources and government security officials confirm that Somali forces have successfully recaptured this strategic area. Residents told HAN News that the Danab and Gorgor forces entered the town during the operation, and clashes are still ongoing.
This marks a significant development in the government’s continued efforts to reclaim territories from Al-Shabaab in central Somalia.
