Somali forces gun down 20 al-Shabab militants

The Somali National Army killed 20 al-Shabab militants during an operation Wednesday in the country’s southern region of Lower Shabelle.

The military operations will continue in the region, Aweis said, adding that the government will soon launch the second phase of a joint offensive operation against al-Shabab militants with the participation of troops from neighboring countries.

The government forces have intensified their attacks against the al-Shabab group since President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud declared an all-out war against the militants in August 2022.
