Al-Shabaab militants raided a Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) base in Taabta for the second time in the last 48 hours.
According to security agents in the region, the KDF military base, which is near Dhobley, came under heavy attack from the militants on Friday.
Dhobley is along the main supply route that runs all the way to Kismayo.
Nevertheless, neither KDF nor Somali National Army (SNA) sources have provided any details of casualties in the incident.
A heavy gunfight was reported in the region, which has a large presence of extremists.
