[MK254]

Fifty-two Al-Shabaab terrorists have been killed in a raid on their camp in Somalia by Kenyan troops.

Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) spokesman Joseph Owuoth said the 1am raid on Friday was carried out by ground troops supported by mortar and artillery fire.

The camp was located nine kilometres North of Sarina in Badhaade, Lower Juba.

“The intelligence led operation was executed after surveillance assets sighted Al-Shabaab terrorist concentration in the location. Ground troops supported by mortar and artillery fire were employed to neutralise the camp thereafter,” said Colonel Owuoth.

Many other terrorists fled the battleground, leaving behind seven AK-47 assault rifles, a machine gun, two phones, 104 rounds of ammunition, three home-made bombs, bomb-making materials and food.

“KDF wishes to assure the public that operations against Al-Shabaab will continue until all terrorists are eliminated in order to ensure Kenyans and their neighbours enjoy peace and security,” Col Owouth added.

DEVASTATING LOSSES

The troops are serving in the neighbouring country under the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom).

The Somalia-based terrorist organisation with links to Al-Qaeda has suffered devastating loses in a series of similar raids by the KDF in recent weeks.

A senior Al-Shabaab commander, Bashe Nure Hassan, was killed along with one of his lieutenants on April 8.

Two days later, 15 other terrorists were killed when Kenyan troops stormed their camp near Catamaa, about 104 kilometres from the border town of Elwak.

In yet another attack, 31 Al-Shabaab militants were killed after the KDF raided the terrorists’ bases in Badhaade on March 26.

On March 2, 57 more terrorists were killed in a KDF operation in Afmadhow, near Subow.

An assortment of arms, pickup trucks mounted with machine guns, ammunition, home-made bombs and other combat gear belonging to the terrorists were destroyed.

Kenya first deployed soldiers in Somalia in October 2011 in Operation Linda Nchi before they were amalgamated into Amisom the following year.

NAIROBI, Kenya

The Kenyan military early Friday killed 52 al-Shabaab militants in Badhaadhe region in southern Somalia, military spokesman Col. Joseph Owuoth confirmed in a statement.

Owuoth said that Kenya Defense Forces soldiers working under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) attacked an al-Shabaab camp at around 1 a.m. East African Time (2200GMT on Thursday).

“The initial assessment indicates that 52 terrorists were killed, while others fled with injuries,” Col. Owuoth said.

He added that Kenyan soldiers seized seven AK-47 rifles, one PK machine gun, two phones, 104 rounds of ammunition, three improvised explosive devices, and assorted materials used for manufacturing IEDs.

The Kenyan military said that the intelligence-led operation was launched after surveillance assets sighted al-Shabaab terrorist concentration in Lower Juba in Somalia close to the Kenyan-Somali border.

"Ground troops supported by mortar and artillery fire were employed to neutralize the camp thereafter," the statement added.

Kenyan forces say 52 al Shabaab fighters killed in Somalia

• Posted 21 Apr 2017 21:25

NAIROBI: Kenyan troops killed 52 al Shabaab fighters in an attack on the militants' camp in southern Somalia on Friday, a military spokesman said.

Colonel Joseph Owuoth, spokesman for Kenya Defence Forces, said the incident happened in Badhaadhe in Lower Juba.

Rifles, three improvised explosive devices and bomb making materials were recovered in the assault, he said.

"The intelligence led operation was executed after surveillance assets sighted al Shabaab terrorist concentration on the location. Ground troops supported by mortar and artillery fire were employed to neutralise the camp thereafter," the statement said.

"Following the operation, the initial assessment indicates that 52 terrorists were killed while others fled with injuries."

Al Shabaab, whose assessment of casualties often differs markedly from official versions, could be immediately reached for comment.

Kenya has thousands of its troops in the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to help curb al Shabaab and improve security as part of a reconstruction drive after two decades of civil war that shattered the country.

Kenya initially sent troops into Somalia in 2011 after a series of attacks on Kenyan soil by the al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab.

The Islamist group has been fighting for years to impose its own harsh interpretation of Islam on Somalia.

It once controlled much of Somalia and wants to topple the Western-backed government in Mogadishu and drive out the peacekeeping force, which is also made up of soldiers from Djibouti, Uganda, Burundi, Ethiopia and other African countries.

In January, al Shabaab said its fighters killed dozens of Kenyan troops when the group attacked a remote military base in Somalia, while Kenya's army said nine soldiers had died and 70 militants were killed.

In January 2016, al Shabaab said it had killed more than 100 Kenyan soldiers in El Adde, a camp near the border with Kenya.

The military did not give details of casualties in that attack, but Kenyan media reports suggested a toll of that magnitude.
