Somali security forces have escalated operations against Al Shabaab through coordinated intelligence driven strikes in Lower and Middle Shabelle regions.
A precision strike in Lower Shabelle targeted an explosives production site destroying equipment and killing seven militants including bomb specialists.
In Middle Shabelle 21 fighters were killed in a separate operation targeting a militant gathering near Mogadishu.
The operations are part of a broader campaign aimed at dismantling militant supply routes and leadership structures.
Authorities also confirmed the killing of a senior commander involved in international coordination and weapons smuggling.
The campaign follows new security arrangements focused on stabilizing cleared areas and preventing militant العودة.
International partners continue to provide air and intelligence support enhancing operational effectiveness.
Officials say the loss of technical expertise is likely to disrupt planned attacks especially in the capital.
The government is also prioritizing control of key agricultural zones to restore production and reduce militant financing.
More than 150 militants including senior figures have been killed since the start of the year.
Authorities stress that sustained pressure is essential for long term stability.
