Savage assault on Danab troops in Middle Shabelle leaves casualties in its wake

In Mogadishu, an armed group confronted Danab soldiers near Eel Baraf in Middle Shabelle, resulting in casualties on both sides.

The Danab troops, who had left Jowhar and were traveling to Hiraan, clashed briefly with the militias. The exact number of casualties is unclear.

The attack appears to be driven by tribal loyalties, as the soldiers were off-duty and returning to Hiraan. This incident highlights a resurgence of clan-based conflicts.

This skirmish is part of a series of violent incidents along the Hiraan-Middle Shabelle border in recent months.
