Jubbaland soldiers backed Somali elite forces have killed at least 10 al Shabaab militants in a major operation in Southern Somalia. Jubbaland forces commander, Adan Mohamud Ibrahim said the state’s forces launched successful covert operations against Al-Shabaab fighters in Lower Jubba region.
The operation comes at a time Somali and AMISOM forces have accelerated the offensives against Al-Shabaab fighters in Southern Somalia. Since the month of August when Jubbaland leader, Ahmed Madobe and officials jointly agreed to intensify the fight against the group, several fighters defected from the group.
