KDF officers in Amisom supported by the Somalia National Army killed 33 al Shabaab fighters in two different operations in Southern Somalia on Wednesday.

In the first incident during an operation in Jubaland’s Gobweyn area, 25 fighters from the terror group were killed by the two teams.

Three of the terror group’s technicals were also destroyed in the operation targetting their main attack launching base.
