On Tuesday night the insurgents called for reinforcements and technical vehicles from nearby training camps, which clearly didn't help their strategy.Local sources said that al-Shabaab failed to capture the village after one hour of fighting. At least four fighters died and seven other were injured during heavy fighting.

I’m sorry their death, but they were fighting against us, they wanted to kill us. They injured one of our soldiers so it’s compulsory to defend our life and the lives of our people.” added Diyaad.
