Al-Shabaab attacks Darul Nima Village for Second Time in Two Months
Al Shabaab terrorists on Monday attacked the village of Darul Nima, which is located in the Aadan Yabaal district of the Middle Shabelle region, according to local media.
Strategically located, the village was recently captured from al-Shabaab.
The attack is the second on the village by the terror group in just over 2 months.
On June 30, Al-Shabaab attacked the village and caused damages to the main mosque there.
The attack on Monday started with Al-Shabaab militants attacking government forces’ positions and the local militia forces known as Ma’awisley, resulting in intense face-to-face combat.
Somalia’s Ministry of Defence rejected claims of Al-Shabaab overrunning government bases saying its repulsed the attack.
The attack on the village of Darul Nima comes days after the commander of the Somali National Army promoted the ranks of government troops and local militia members who had captured the village from Al Shabaab.
