Not fewer than 38 civilians were killed in Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland region today, a military officer stated.

“Now we confirm 38 people, mostly soldiers, died and 18 others wounded. I believe some were captured alive and taken away,” Major Mohamed Abdi, a Puntland military officer, told Reuters.

“Numerous, heavily armed al Shabaab fighters attacked us from every direction and after hours of fierce battle I was among those who ran for their lives.”
