An airstrike targets Al-Shabaab in central Somalia

A fresh airstrike was reported in central Somalia targeting Al-Shabaab base following the visit by US Africa command to Mogadishu. The raid is the second in Galhareeri within 4 days, and it is said that it was targeted at a house where members of the Al-Shabaab lived and a center where the group manufactures explosives.

A statement issued by the government said that the attack inflicted a heavy blow on the group, and many members were killed at the same time. However, Ashabab has not yet commented on these claims by the government.

In the previous attack that took place in Galhareeri last Tuesday, the federal government said that 30 members of Al-Shabaab were killed, including leaders, militiamen, journalists, and technicians of the group allegedly responsible for making the explosions, which included foreigners.
