Al Shabaab fighters on Saturday killed at least 25 people in terror attacks on four army bases in central Somalia.
The Somali army spokesman, Abukar Mohamed Hassan, said the group carried out “a massive assault” from different directions in the Eldheer district with suicide bombers and heavily armed militants.
He said: “Our national armed forces and local armed militias fought hard to deny the militants from taking over the district, killing more than 20 terrorists.”
