Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to Nigerian officials, this air operation was carried out 14 kilometers away from Jammeh district in Juba region.
Somalia's National News Agency reported on Sunday that the country's military said that "these airstrikes successfully killed the key leaders of al-Shabaab, Aden Abdurrahman Aden and Idris Abdurrahim Noor, who had the citizenship of Kenya, and a total of 43 Al-Shabaab militants."
These airstrikes last Friday in partnership with "Somalia's international partners" took place when al-Shabaab extremists gathered with their leaders and planned to organize an attack on Somali soldiers in the Barsguni military base, which hosts the Somali National Army and the local forces of that country.
However, the Somali military did not specifically mention the participation of the country's international partners in the airstrikes in the announcement they made about these airstrikes. But in most cases, the US command in Africa uses drones to target Al-Shabaab extremists in Somalia.
According to the statement of the Somali military, "the successful disruption of this planned attack shows the effectiveness of continuous efforts in the fight against al-Shabaab and the protection of the people of Somalia."
This news was published while the Council of Ministers of Somalia announced General Ibrahim Sheikh Mohiuddin Eddo as the new commander of the national army of that country.
The airstrikes of the Somali military have been carried out while the army of that country is preparing for the second phase of attacks against the Al-Shabaab group with the help of the forces of the neighboring countries.
Al-Shabaab extremists, who are affiliated with Al-Qaeda network, always organize armed attacks in Somalia and some other countries.
Since 2006, al-Shabaab has been engaged in a war against the Somali government and the peacekeeping forces of the African Union.
