The commander of the 12th Battalion of the Somaliland Forces in Maragga area, east of Lascod town, is believed to be one of the soldiers captured by SSC Khatumo this morning.
Butaan was one of the most famous officers of the Somaliland army since the start of the Lasaan war 8 months ago.
It is the first time that Somaliland forces have been attacked in such a large way, with the capture of 2 important bases, namely the Maragga base and the famous Gojacadde base.
Somaliland forces also captured cars and prisoners, and this is an important victory for SSC Khatumo forces who have been fighting Somaliland forces for 8 months in Lasanood area.
