Somali government forces have retreated from Aboorey village after a week of intense fighting, allowing al-Shabaab militants to seize control. Additionally, heavy fighting has been reported in Adan Yabaal, a key military base in the Middle Shabelle region, where al-Shabaab has launched attacks from multiple fronts. Sources indicate that Somali forces and local fighters have also been forced to abandon Adan Yabaal, which is considered a strategic town and a frontline base against insurgents. The loss of these areas raises concerns about al-Shabaab's growing influence and potential threats to the capital, Mogadishu.
