The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Mogadishu, Somalia | Xinhua | An air raid carried out by troops including those from Somali National Army (SNA) killed 12 al-Shabab militants in the central region, the allied forces said Sunday.
The collective self-defense air strike, which was carried out Friday at the request of the Somali government, occurred in a remote area about 45 km southwest of Hobyo, Somalia, the forces said in a joint statement.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has declared an all-out war against al-Shabab, which is affiliated with the al-Qaida-linked terrorist network, since he was sworn into office in May 2022.
The Somali government forces backed by local militia have intensified the onslaught against the militants who have claimed credit to a series of terrorist attacks across the country.
