Mogadishu: The Somali National Army (SNA) and Galmudug regional forces backed by international partners killed 117 al-Shabab militants in a fierce fighting in the central part of the country on Friday evening, a military official said.
The militants were killed during an eight-hour fighting in Donlaye, near Amara town, SNA Infantry Commander Mohamed Tahlil Bihi told Somali National News Agency on Friday.
"The al-Shabab were driven out of their trenches. We are currently in pursuit of the remnants that fled into the forest after the heavy loss," Bihi said.
