Somali National Armed Forces (SNAF) killed 23 Al-Shabaab militants in a counterterrorism operation carried out in the Bay region on Saturday.
The military was in the region to smoke out the terrorists.
Government troops destroyed three bases that Al-Shabaab terrorists have regularly used for launching attacks in the region.
A garage also went up in smoke in the latest operation.
Military sources hinted that the garage has been the militants’ place for preparing explosive devices used in attacks in the Bay region.
Apparently, Al-Shabaab planned to attack Bula-Fuley.
