Middle Shabelle (KAAB TV) – Al-Shabaab fighters have launched a significant attack in the Bos Hareeri area of the Middle Shabelle region, engaging in fierce combat with the Somali military and local residents. The battle is reported to involve various types of weapons.
In the course of the fighting, Faris Mohamud Jama, the deputy head of Al-Shabaab operations in Middle Shabelle, was reportedly killed.
This recent escalation is part of a broader pattern, as Al-Shabaab has increasingly targeted government forces in the region in recent weeks.
Additionally, President Hassan Sheikh is expected to announce the third phase of the military campaign against Al-Shabaab soon.
