The camp, located in the village of Khadija Haji, 60 kilometres
southwest of Bula Hawo along the Kenya-Somalia border, was a strategic
base used by al-Shabaab to plan attacks on AMISOM and the Somali
National Army (SNA), AMISOM said in a press statement.
Witnesses also reported that fighter jets struck the town of Jilib
in Somalia's Middle Juba region. AMISOM confirmed it carried out an
offensive operation there and destroyed an al-Shabaab logistical base,
injuring several militants.
The gains come a week after the SNA and AMISOM killed two senior al-Shabaab commanders in Inimeey village near Bulo Burde.
"Last week two senior al-Shabaab commanders, Issa Mohamed Dhoore, the liaison officer with foreign elements and translator of Hiran region and a close confidant of the group's leader Ahmed Abdi Godane, was killed together with Sharif Ameey, also a top leader, during an operation by AMISOM and SNA forces," AMISOM said.
