一 | Mogadishu, Oct 10 (UNI) Somali National Army (SNA) said Monday its forces have killed more than 200 al-Shabab militants during an operation conducted in Bulaburte district of central Somalia.

According to the state-owned media, the militants were planning to block the road between Beledweyne and Bulaburde district and stage an attack but the forces received intelligence in time and foiled the attack on Sunday.

"Their intention was to block the road between Bula-burde and Beledweyne towns. But they made a miscalculation, and ended up in fire," the Somali news agency reported.

The militant group has lost ground to the Somali government and African Union troops in recent months but still controls some territory in southern and central Somalia.
