Somali National Army (SNA) and African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) forces have killed seven Al-Shabaab militants in the Bay region.
Security sources reported that SNA and ATMIS forces were on a joint operation in the area.
They encountered the terrorists at Diinsoor town during the April 11 military operation.
Apparently, the Al-Shabaab militants were in the area planning a terrorist attack against an army base and local residents.
SNA and ATMIS not only repelled the attack but also arrested several militants.
