Somalia: Kenya’s military tuesday killed 49 al-Shabaab militants in Somalia
Kenyan soldiers have killed 49 Al-Shabaab fighters, including five commanders, in intensified airstrikes in southern Somalia, an official said on Thursday.
Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) spokesman Colonel David Obonyo told Xinhua that the militants were killed on Tuesday when the country’s troops under African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) carried out an airstrike on two of the insurgents’ camps in the Somalian cities of Hargeisayere and Minyonta in Jilib.
“The airstrike took place on Tuesday but we could not do damage assessments due to bad weather until late Wednesday when we established that our troops killed 49 Al-Shabaab fighters, including five commanders, while 27 others were injured,” he said.
