MOGADISHU, SONNA – In a significant victory for Somali security forces, the Somali National Army (SNA) and Galmudug state troops regained control of several key areas in southern Mudug region early this morning after al-Shabaab militants abandoned their positions.

Government officials confirmed to the SONNA that the reclaimed areas include the towns of Dhagahdher and Dahar-Ali Khaylow, strategic locations previously occupied by the al-Shabaab. This successful operation marks a crucial step in the ongoing efforts to liberate areas used by al-Shabaab as hideouts and launching pads for attacks.
