Somali National Army killed two Al-Shabab militias in Awdinle town, about 30km from Baidoa, the headquarters of the Bay region. The forces also captured another two fighters alive and their weapons in the operation.

The commander of the 60th Infantry Division, Mohamed Sheikh Abdullahi Osman, told the media that the operation was planned and carried out by the 8th Battalion of the country’s armed forces.
