Mogadishu, SONNA – The Somali National Army (SNA), supported by local forces, has launched a large-scale ground and air offensive against Khawarij militants in the Middle Shabelle region. The operation, which began tonight, aims to root out the militants from their hideouts and restore security to the area.
Reports indicate that the SNA and allied forces are advancing from multiple directions, conducting clearing operations in areas where the Khawarij had recently gained a foothold. The coordinated offensive has already yielded success, with security forces pushing back the militants and reclaiming territory previously under their control.
The operation comes in response to recent advances by the Khawarij, who had been attempting to destabilize the region. The Somali National Army has managed to reverse these gains, restoring security and normalcy to affected areas. Residents have expressed relief as the military operations continue to dismantle the militants’ presence.
Military officials have confirmed that the operation is ongoing, with both ground troops and air support working in tandem to neutralize the threat. The SNA has urged civilians to remain vigilant and cooperate with security forces as they work to ensure the safety of the region.
As the operation unfolds, further updates are expected. Stay tuned for more details on this developing story.
