Somalia military operation, airstrikes kill at least 100 Al-Shabab militants

Somalia’s army have killed at least 100 Al-Shabab fighters in an operation in the central Middle Shabelle region, the Information Ministry said Saturday, days after another 49 Al-Shabab militants were killed in the southern part of the lower Shabelle region.

Al-Shabab has been under pressure since August, when President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud began a concerted offensive against them.
