Somalia Federal Government has sent two planes of military equipment to the regional state of Puntland in support against Al-Shabaab terrorists.
On Monday the militants group raided Garad town in Puntland taking control of the town for some time before retreating.
The weapons and other military consignments are destined for Somali National Army (SNA) battling Al-Shabaab in Puntland.
The response from the federal government comes after president of Puntland Abdiweli Gas requested for an urgent help to counter the armed militant group expanding foothold in territories of Puntland.
President Abdiwel said that is administration is united with the federal government of Somalia in the fight against the militant group, Al-Shabaab.
Abdiwel distanced himself from claims made by Puntland security Minister on Wednesday accusing the federal government on Al-Shabaab build-up in Puntland.
AMISOM and SNA since the Al-Shabaab raid on Garad town on Monday, launched support operations to the Puntland forces whereby in two clashes, 30 Al-Shabaab militants have been killed.
