There’s a big battle happening in the middle of Somalia because al-Shabab fighters attacked army bases in Mudug region.
People told the media they heard a lot of shooting and explosions early in the morning on Wednesday.
The attack started with a person blowing themselves up, aiming at government special forces.
Galmudug’s Security Minister Mohamed Abdi Aden told the media that soldiers are still fighting the fighters in Aad village, where the army bases are found.
The army and local people stopped the attack and caused a lot of harm to the terrorists, according to the Somali National News Agency (Sonna).
