MOGADISHU – A warplane bombed a Somali village held by Islamist rebels near the border with Kenya yesterday, killing several civilians and residents, a Somali military official said.
It was not immediately possible to identify who carried out the attack on the village of Hosungow near the area of Dhobley, which is under the control of Somali government and Kenyan troops as well as a militia allied to Somalia’s government.
But neighbouring Kenya has intensified its air strikes in the last few weeks.
