Reports from Lower Juba state that Jubaland forces and Danab commandos have achieved great success in a large-scale operation they carried out in the north of Lower Juba, where they targeted Al Shabaab members.
The reports add that the operation, which was carefully prepared, attacked Al Shabaab positions in the Qabri Sharif area of Lower Juba.
The officers leading the operation revealed that a large number of Al Shabaab fighters were killed during the operation, while others escaped with injuries, but the forces are closely pursuing them.
The officers leading the operation also stated that Al Shabaab hideouts in the area were destroyed, and that their plans to carry out were thwarted.
In recent days, Jubbaland forces have been conducting an operation against Al Shabaab in Lower Juba and one to generally ensure security in areas controlled by Jubbaland.
