Somali National Army (SNA) troops are a short distance away from Adanyabal town in Middle Shabelle.
The government troops seem to be closing in on the town.
Adanyabal is the largest town in Middle Shabelle that is still under the leadership and control of Al-Shabaab terrorists.
In the last 24 hours, Al-Shabaab terrorists have lost crucial ground to the government troops.
On Friday, SNA forces joined hands with members of the local community to recapture Nur-Dugle village from Al-Shabaab.
