Confirmed reports reaching the Halgan Media service desk reveal suspected US drones bombed the Al Shabaab controlled town of Kabsumma in the Lower Jubba province of Somalia.
Local media reports surfacing from Somalia’s Jubba Valley reveal unmanned drones fired a series of missiles on the town, which fatally struck a motorist. It’s being revealed the motorist died instantly in the drone strike.
The victim has been identified as a local clan elder named Abbas Mohamed Haji. It’s not clear at the moment weather there are any more victims from the strike.
Obtaining information from Al Shabaab controlled territory in Somalia is nearly impossible knowing smart phones and other technological devices are banned.
Outsiders are also barred from accessing areas controlled by the armed group, which makes gathering information even more difficult.
The drone strike this evening targeting Kabsumma comes just days after three civilians where killed in a similar US drone on Monday, which included an elderly women in the town of Jilib.
Halgan Media correspondents based in the Lower Jubba province of Somalia are currently looking into this latest strike and will release more information in the coming hours.
