Summary
An effort by the Somali national military to seize the Buurhakaba district from troops loyal to Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed (Laftagareen), the former leader of South West State, was thwarted when Al-Shabaab militants launched an ambush close to Jamaada. The clash led to an unspecified number of casualties and the loss of two armoured vehicles, forcing the federal troops to withdraw to their original positions and marking the unsuccessful conclusion of the mission.
