Southwest State military commanders near Hudur town in the Bakol region launched proactive efforts to counter the escalating threat posed by Al-Shabaab.
The operations aim to address the militants’ repeated ambushes in the area, which resulted in significant casualties among Somali soldiers last month.
Hudur, a strategic location, has been a frequent target for Al-Shabaab due to its proximity to key supply routes.
The recent efforts underscore the Somali government’s commitment to intensifying anti-terror operations to restore security in the region.
These developments also align with the broader national strategy to eradicate Al-Shabaab’s influence and enhance stability across the country.
