According to local sources, an airstrike by an unknown party targeted a \u2018foreign al Shabaab commander\u2019 around dawn on May 9th 2019.<\/p>\n
According to Horn Globe, \u201cA second huge blast was heard in Jamame town, around dawn.\u00a0The target of the second air attack was al-Shabaab commander in charge of planning operations, a Somali intelligence officer in Mogadishu has told Horn Globe.\u00a0His fate is yet unknown as the intel officer says they were assessing the situation there.\u00a0Jamaame is about 522km from Mogadishu.<\/p>\n
“There was no any press release from the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) in relation to the two air strikes in Jilib and Jamame.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Fallaro, “in Jamame district in Lower Juba region, a nighttime bombardment occurred, and it was reported that leader Abddinur Hussein, a close ally of Ahmed Godane, was reportedly targeted.\u00a0The death toll is said to have risen to five members of Al-Shabaab and there are other casualties, although their exact number is not yet known.”<\/p>\n
Asked whether it had been responsible for this event, in February 2020 a senior AFRICOM official told Airwars that this was not the case. However, this may not preclude actions by the CIA which conducts its own undeclared strikes in Somalia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","country":[436],"belligerent":[430],"strike_type":[431,434],"cause_of_death":[448],"targeted_belligerents":[488],"strike_status":[830],"civilian_harm_reported":[835],"civilian_harm_status":[],"belligerent_assessment":[868],"geolocation_assessor":[],"declassified_document":[900],"geolocation_status":[],"observation":[],"munition":[],"casualty":[],"impact":[],"civilian_infrastructure":[],"documentation":[],"citation":[],"class_list":["post-62217","civ","type-civ","status-publish","hentry","country-somalia","belligerent-us-forces","strike_type-airstrike","strike_type-drone-strike","cause_of_death-heavy-weapons-and-explosive-munitions","targeted_belligerents-al-shabaab","strike_status-contested-strike","civilian_harm_reported-no","belligerent_assessment-not-yet-assessed","declassified_document-no"],"acf":{"latitude":0.06978,"longitude":42.748066,"geolocation_accuracy":"town","multiple_location_incident":null,"geolocations":[{"latitude":0.06978,"longitude":42.748066,"geolocation_accuracy":"town","primary_coordinate":true}],"geojson":null,"show_geolocation_caption":false,"geojson_caption":"","media_geolocation":null,"geolocation_notes":"Reports of the incident mention that the strike took place in the town Jamaame, for which the coordinates are: 0.06978, 42.748066.
