Intense clashes erupted in Eel Bur district of the Galgaduud region which resulted in severe casualties and losses.
| So was it an 'intense clash' or a 'fierce confrontation'? |
The battle was between joint Somali National Army soldiers and Ethiopian troops under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) against the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Shabaab terrorist group.
Residents in the district reported to Shabelle after the confrontations that the warring sides used different types of weapons, mainly gunfire.| Good thing they didn't use loud explosions. Those things can really do some damage. |
Eel Bur is among towns and districts recently liberated from the Al-Shabaab terrorist group by joint SNA and AMISOM. |
