29 November - Source: Hiiraan Online - 162 Words Reports reaching Hiiraan Online indicate that military jets have conducted aerial attacks against Al-Shabaab bases in Somalia's Hiiraan region.

The warplanes’ attacks is the latest in a series of aerial bombardments against the Al-Qaeda branch in Somalia. Col Mohamed Omar Aden, a senior Somali Army commander in the region confirmed the development and said more such operations will continue to target areas such as Yasooman, Ceeldheer and Ceel lahelay villages, which still harbour elements of Al-Shabaab.

Several militants are believed to have been killed in the Sunday aerial raids. The bombardment of Al-Shabaab bases is also another big blow to the already dented militant group considering that these bases are prime for their military training, planning attacks, among other logistics. Kenya Air Force fighter jets have severally bombarded Al-Shabaab camps as well as U.S. drones. Senior Al-Shabaab leaders, including Sheikh Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, have been killed in drone attacks.
