Some members of the local Macawiisley forces said they repelled Al-Shabaab attacks three times with strong resistance, but eventually withdrew from some areas where gunfire is still ongoing.

They have called on the Federal Government of Somalia to provide assistance and deploy reinforcements to support the local Macawiisley forces so they can return to their positions, as they stated.

The Middle Shabelle region is currently experiencing intensified military mobilization, with Federal Government forces and local Macawiisley fighters on one side, and Al-Shabaab, which has concentrated its forces in the area, on the other.

Meanwhile, airstrikes targeting locations where Al-Shabaab militants are believed to be hiding are also underway, according to various sources. The ongoing tension has had a negative impact on these areas over the past several days.

Reports indicate that Al-Shabaab carried out a heavy attack on the area, where government forces and allied militias had been stationed in recent days. This led to a direct confrontation between the two sides.

Local sources told the media that the bombings and subsequent clashes caused casualties, including deaths and injuries, though the full extent of the losses has not yet been confirmed.

Fighting between the attackers and government forces is still ongoing in the area, spreading to other parts of Middle Shabelle.

According to reports, Al-Shabaab fighters are pressing their attack strongly, attempting by all means to overrun the government positions to seize control. However, government forces are resisting the assault.

The Somali government has stated that its forces have repelled the attack and inflicted heavy losses on the attackers.

Al-Shabaab has previously seized key areas in Middle Shabelle and continues to expand its presence in several parts of the region under the HirShabelle administration.

Currently, major operations are underway in both Shabelle regions targeting Al-Shabaab militias, following pressure on areas previously captured by the group near towns bordering the capital, Mogadishu.
