Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) spokesman David Obonyo said the early Saturday attack in the area of Damasa in Gedo region of southern Somalia also saw the troops recover two rifles, a mobile phone and a radio “The troops were engaged in a fire fight with an estimated 20 Al-Shabaab militia, killing three while the rest fled.

In another Saturday attack in Taraka, also southern Somalia, according to Obonyo, an Improvised Explosive Device targeting KDF detonated prematurely.
