On Saturday 19th, Somali National Army troops and a contingent of AMISOM soldiers came under attack from the Al-Shabaab militants.
AMISOM troops have been attacked in the lower Shabelle region by the Al-Shabaab militants severally in April.
There were causalities but the numbers are unverified.
AMISOM troops were ambushed by the militants as they were deploying along the Leego to Wanlaweyn road.
Injured soldiers were rushed to a health facility in the Wanlaweyn.
There is a sharp increase on attacks on AMISOM troops across Somalia.
This is an indicator of insurgency or possible regrouping of the militants.
