In this operation, a number of al-Shabab members were also wounded but managed to escape, Somali National Army (SNA) said.
The army forces were not harmed.
Elements of the al-Shabaab Takfiri terrorist group occupy many villages and small towns in southern Somalia and constantly target the security forces and civilians.
It should be noted that the al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia has been trying to overthrow the Somalian government for more than seven years.
