Somali National Army (SNA) has launched anti-terrorist operations in El-Bur.
Over the last few days, reports indicated that the armed forces were on the verge of forcing their way into El-Bur to eliminate terrorists in the region.
On Friday, the armed forces were finally able to enter El-Bur.
El-Bur is a significant location considering the fact that it acts as Al-Shabaab’s biggest stronghold in Galmudug and HirShabelle states.
SNA conducted the operation jointly with local residents.
El-Bur is now firmly delivered from the grip of Al-Shabaab forces.
The federal Ministry of Defense confirmed the latest developments in an interview with members of the Fourth Estate on Friday.
