Officials confirmed that at least 25 people were killed during terrorist attacks on four military bases in central Somalia on Saturday.
Somali army spokesman Abukar Mohamed Hassan said that the extremist group Al-Shabaab carried out an “attack” from several directions in Eldehir district with the help of suicide bombings.
He added, “Our national armed forces and local armed forces fought fiercely to prevent the militants from controlling the area, resulting in the killing of more than 20 terrorists.”
He added that at least two Somali soldiers and three local tribal forces, who are fighting alongside the army, were killed in today’s attack.
The extremist Al-Shabaab group, linked to the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, has suffered major defeats at the hands of the Somali army during the past months.
