The Somali National Army, supported by local militia fighters, conducted a large-scale operation on Wednesday in the Boorey area of the central Mudug region. Military officials said the forces killed at least 13 Al-Shabaab members, including senior commanders.
The location sits approximately 120 kilometers from Bahdo. The operation formed part of three coordinated offensives in the region. These aimed to remove militants from their positions. Officers reported that two other fighters escaped with serious injuries.
Commanders stated that troops now hold full control of Boorey. They are pursuing the remaining militants who fled to prevent regrouping efforts. This offensive aligns with a broader government strategy to expand security in central regions through intensified operations by national forces and allied fighters.
