(04-09-23) MOGADISHU — In a move widely seen as retaliation for recent cross-border attacks, Kenyan warplanes bombed the Al-Shabaab-controlled district of Saakow in Middle Jubba region Sunday night, leaving two young brothers with minor injuries, according to local residents.
Kenya’s government has yet to comment officially on the incident, which came on the heels of a weekend IED attack targeting Kenyan military personnel. That attack left two Kenyan soldiers injured in the North Eastern province of Kenya.
In addition to the injuries, airstrikes reportedly hit a residential area, destroying three houses and a recently established water factory, according to Al-Shabaab-affiliated media outlets.
Medical sources have confirmed that the brothers, ages 7 and 1, were taken to a local hospital and are in stable condition.
