The African Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (Aussom) and the Somali Armed Forces have recaptured strategic locations of Sabiid and Anole in the southern region from al-Shabaab, the AU mission said on Sunday.
Aussom said in a statement issued in Mogadishu that this followed a three-day joint operation, codenamed “Operation Silent Storm”, which was aimed at liberating areas under al-Shabaab control in the Lower Shabelle region.
