Liyu authorities have denied reports that Al-Shabaab killed over 80 security officers along the Somalia-Ethiopia border.
Al-Shabaab militants staged a daring attack in the Somali State of Ethiopia on Thursday.
The attacks were mostly around Yed and Ato.
Later, Al-Shabaab claimed that it had killed over 80 security personnel who tried repulsing the attacks by its militants.
However, Liyu police have now denied the reports.
Instead, the police stated that security personnel rounded up and killed dozens of Al-Shabaab militants in a counter-offensive.
