The Somali National Army and Al-Shabaab militants were reported to have engaged in heavy combat today on the outskirts of Qoryoley, of the Lower Shabelle region.
The fight was provoked by Al-Shabaab after they attacked a police station belonging to government troops on Qoryoley’s outskirts.
We were unable to establish contact with Somali government officials in Qoryoley but losses and casualties were reported according to locals.
The Somali National Army backed by the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) have begun their military offensives to eliminate Al-Shabaab from the country as announced earlier this month.
