which has reportedly been trying to breach the border area.

“Though heavily armed, the cells activities are limited due to lack of essential supplies such as bullets and food,” read the police report.

The terror group on Sunday allegedly claimed to have conducted an attack in Dhusamareb in Mudug region before assassinating an assistant to a court President in Mogadishu on Monday.

In Halgan District of Hiraan region, according to police, the group has also claimed killing and wounding 20 Ethiopian military personnel serving under AMISOM.
