Mogadishu, Somalia (SONNA) – The Somali National Army (SNA) has successfully neutralized 27 members of the Al-Shabaab militant group, known locally as Khawarij in a decisive military operation in the Lower Jubba region. The operation, which took place in Bar Sangouni, an area within the Jamame district, marks a significant blow to the terror group’s activities in the region.
