the Federal Government of Somalia in coordination with the United States carried out an operation targeting al-Shabaab operatives near Jilib.

Mogadishu(SONNA)- The Somali National Army (SNA) and it’s partners have made great strides in targeting and bringing to justice key al-Shabaab leaders reducing al-Shabaab’s ability to stage and carry out attacks against the innocent civilians of Somalia. At this time we assess that there are no reports of civilian casualties or injuries. The FGS and partner forces take significant steps to avoid civilian casualties in their fight against the al-Shabaab terrorist organization. The FGS and international partners continue to stand firm in the fight against extremism and will continue to work towards achieving security and stability for all Somalis.
