Over 100 militants opened fire at the Kenya Army Base in Badadhe. Military scouts had picked out the targets and laid an ambush for the militants.
Al-Shabaab continues to lose thousands of their fighters during fire fights with the Kenya Army which has killed over 3800 fighters since they entered Somalia.
Kenya army continues to identify and destroy Al-Shabaab terror groups assets, capabilities, and economic lifelines objectively.
