Mogadishu(SONNA)-The Somali National Armed Forces (SNAF), in cooperation with Ugandan AUSSOM forces, inflicted a heavy defeat on Al-Shabaab terrorists who attempted to launch an attack on Mubarak in the Lower Shabelle region.
During the operation, more than 40 Al-Shabaab militants were killed, while many others were wounded.
Mubarak is among the strategic areas liberated from terrorists during the holy month of Ramadan, and efforts are currently underway to restore the area and reopen key roads previously blocked by the group.
The Ministry of Defence and the SNAF Command will continue sustained operations against Al-Shabaab to ensure the security of civilians and eliminate terrorist elements wherever they attempt to hide.
