If true this could be one of the most fatal attacks on the Kenya troops since they launched military operations against the terrorists inside Somalia.

The agents of terror reveal the onslaught occurred between Kudhaa and Kulbiyow, Lower Jubba.

Chimpreports.com cannot independently verify this report at this time.

In a related development, the Al Shabaab denied exploding a bomb yesterday that left 15 innocent civilians dead in Baidoa.

“As soon as the explosions occurred, the Ethiopian troops rounded up and indiscriminately killed 15 civilians around the site of explosion,” read the statement.

UPDF-led AMISOM forces last week started deploying troops outside Mogadishu in pursuit of the scampering Al Qaeda-linked gunmen.

Uganda army spokesperson Lt. Col. Felix Kulayigye told our news desk that after escaping from Mogadishu, the fleeing Al Shabaab have resorted to suicide attacks and hate propaganda.
