Airwars assessment
27 al-Shabaab militants were reportedly killed by operations carried out by Somalia government forces and ‘international partners’ at Sheekhow farm outside Awdhegle town village on August 25, 2023.
@HarunMaruf quoted state media who reported that government forces in collaboration with international partners carried out an operation that resulted in the killing of 27 militants. @HarunMaruf pointed out that the casualty numbers reported by state media have not been independently confirmed.
While no sources directly implicated the US in the operation, the Somali government’s reference to “international partners” has in the past indicated US involvement but could also refer to Turkish involvement.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
