Dhusamareeb (HOL) — Somalia’s National Intelligence and
Security Agency (NISA), working with international partners, said it killed 12
al-Shabaab fighters, including senior leaders, in a military operation in the
Galguduud region on Friday.
The operation, carried out in the Ceel-dhiiqo Weyne area
between Ceel-lahelay and Ceel-garas, also left 13 militants wounded, according
to officials.
NISA said the strike targeted a key al-Shabaab training camp
that had been used to prepare more than 400 fighters for attacks against
civilians and government institutions.
Security forces were pursuing militants who fled toward
El-Buur district following the raid.
Military officials said the operation is part of ongoing
efforts to weaken al-Shabaab’s presence and restore stability in central
Somalia.
