Kenya soldiers on Monday killed 15 al Shabaab terrorists in an operation in West of Catamaa, approximately 104 kilometres from the border town of El wak, Gedo region, Somalia.
KDF spokesman Joseph Owuoth said the forces' Amisom detachment from a nearby location engaged the militants using artillery and mortar fire and successfully destroyed the terrorists’ camp.
Colonel Owuoth said operations against Shabaab will continue until all the terrorists are eliminated.
The KDF soldiers operating under the African Union Mission in Somalia have in the last few months conducted heavy attacks on the terrorists, which left them with many casualties.
On Saturday, KDF soldiers foiled an al Shabaab attack in Kuday, Somalia, killing two militants in the process including a commander, Bashe Nure Hassan.
Owuoth said in a statement the terrorists had launched an attack on the Somali National Army (SNA) camp adjacent to KDF and Amisom's.
