    Kismayo (HOL) - Kenya Defence Forces on Friday killed ten al Shabaab fighters and recovered several weapons during a security operation in Boni forest in the Lamu region.

    KDF said the troops conducted the operation between Sarira and Kolbio areas within the expansive Boni Forest, where they killed newly graduated al Shabaab militants, while others escaped with multiple injuries.

    "One Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) launcher, several assault weapons, assorted ammunitions as well as personal effects were recovered during the operations," KDF said.

    KDF added that the militants were part of the Jeysh Ayman team led by Maalim Ayman.

    On 18 of last month, Galmudug forces and residents killed 70 al Shabaab fighters in a foiled attack on Bahdo town in central Somalia.

    Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud complimented the people of Bahdo town for their selfless defence against Al-Shabaab militants who attacked the city.

    President Mohamud said that the heavy casualties that the residents in Ba'do and the Somali National Army inflicted on Al-Shabaab militants show the determination of the Somali people to face the hardships of Al-Shabaab.
