Kismayo (HOL) - Jubbaland security forces foiled a planned al-Shabab terrorist attack in Dhobley district in the Gedo region on Saturday.
According to security officials, the security forces removed a landmine that the militants had planted on the main road in the district to harm civilians. Still, their sinister plans were foiled without any casualties.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but al-Shabab frequently carries out such assaults against government forces.
This incident occurred just one day after a suicide bombing at a bustling restaurant in Mogadishu killed five people in Mogadishu. The militants claimed responsibility for this attack.
In recent months, the Somali government has intensified its military campaign against al-Shabab but has recently faced setbacks in the fight in central Somalia.
