Last night, armed men who are believed to be members of Alshabab have attacked two military posts in Afgoye district which is located in Somalia’s Lower Shabelle region.
A reporter in the area told Radio Dalsan that a crossfire between the military and the attackers have caused the death of two civilians – one them being a child, and several injuries.
In an online news platform, Alshabab claimed to have taken over those posts and were under their control for a short while, although there were no independent reports on the same.
Efforts to get information from security officials and Afgoye administration was futile as they could not answer calls.
