\nthe checkpoint and attack the military compound near the area but were quickly deterred by U.S. and
\nFGS forces.
\nThe spokesperson of the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism of the Federal Government
\nof Somalia, Ismael Mukhtar, confirms the death of two SNA soldiers and the injury of three others at
\nJannay Abdalle village about 60km north of Kismayo today. U.S. AFRICOM has also confirmed one

The U.S. regularly conducts advice and assist missions with Somali partner forces. The collective
\nefforts of the U.S. and Somalia place pressure on Al-Shabaab, limiting their ability to extend their
\nreach and movement. Al-Shabaab remains a dangerous enemy. Continued pressure is being placed
\non this Al Qaeda-affiliated threat to limit its ability to expand and export violence, terrorism, and
\ncrime more broadly. Somali National Army and its US. AFRICOM and AMISOM partners, will
\ncontinue the fight against the enemy of the Somali people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
