Heavy airstrikes targeted Lafta-gareen forces

Waajid (Caasimada Online) – Reports from the Bakool region indicate that today airstrikes targeted militants from the Al-Shabaab group and forces loyal to Lafta-gareen who were located on the outskirts of the Waajid district in the region.

The strikes, which were aimed at specific locations, inflicted heavy damage on the militants gathered there.

Officials from the Somali military stated that the operation went as planned and that they will continue the offensive in those areas.

The officials did not disclose the official casualties resulting from the airstrike, but the government is expected to provide details about the incident.

The situation remains tense, with opposing movements being felt in many parts of the Bay and Bakool regions of southern Somalia.

This operation comes at a time when in recent days, forces loyal to the former president of South West State have been conducting attacks in the region, capturing several districts from the administration led by Aadan Madoobe.

However, South West Somalia is currently planning to launch an offensive against the forces loyal to Cabdicasiis Lafta-gareen who have taken control of the districts of Qansaxdeere, Bardaale, Buurhakaba, and Diinsoor, all of which are located in the Bay region.

These actions come at a time when the political conflict and clashes between the forces loyal to Cabdicasiis Lafta-gareen and those supporting the current administration in Baydhaba, which is receiving backing from the Federal Government, are intensifying.
