Details of a major operation carried out by Danab and the United States in Lower Shabelle

Leego (Caasimada Online) – Various details are emerging about a planned operation that today the Danab special forces, specifically the 161st unit, conducted in the Leego area of the Lower Shabelle region, targeting the Al-Shabaab group.

The forces are reported to have inflicted heavy losses on the group through ground and air operations they are carrying out in the Lower Shabelle region.

Additionally, the operations were accompanied by heavy airstrikes carried out last night by the United States targeting positions held by Al-Shabaab around the Leego area, where weapons and military supplies were stored.

Reports further indicate that the airstrikes killed officials from the group and destroyed weapons and military equipment that Al-Shabaab had been using.

The Somali National Army is also continuing operations to ensure security and dismantle the networks of the Al-Shabaab group that pose a threat to the public.

The Lower Shabelle region is still heavily influenced by Al-Shabaab, which organizes heavy attacks from there, mostly targeting military installations.

However, Somali forces and their international partners have recently increased operations against Al-Shabaab, targeting the positions and facilities the group has in the regions of the country.
