Middle Shabelle continues to be the scene of heavy fighting between the Somali National Army (SNA) and terrorists.
Fighting continued after Al-Shabaab militants attempted a daring attack against government bases in Nur Dugle.
Government troops responded to the bold attack, which they managed to repulse.
Currently, sources in the area confirm that the situation remains quite tense.
Nobody has provided information on the presence of casualties in the area, which recently hosted President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
