Following their successful operation in Karaan District on 08/10 AMISOM forces backed by TFG forces launched a new offensive against AS positions in Heliwa and Yaaqshiid District on 09/10. Fighting was more intense than the day before due to a stronger resistance of the AS militias. Several key positions were taken over by AMISOM including the ex-Pasta Factory, Elmiska, ex-Control Balcad, the former Italian Cemetery (Salahu-din training camp), the SOS hospital and the animal market. AMISOM forces now control all Industrial and Balcad roads. Only some urban areas on the fringe of the districts are currently still being held by the AS. During the fighting the SOS Hospital was hit by two artillery rounds and one SOS employee, working close to the hospital's pharmacy, was killed. The INGO issued a communiqu later stating that for the first time since 1985 it had to completely evacuate its staffs from the area and suspend all its operations. No further clashes were reported on 11/10. Ten AS fighters, four TFG soldiers, two AMISOM soldiers and five civilians were reported killed. 20 other persons, mostly combatants, were reported injured. |

Two different explosions were reported in Heliwa District after AS vacated the area. Both seem to have been caused by booby-traps/IEDs attached to an abandoned PKM machine-gun and to a Toyata Carib vehicle left near the ex-Pasta Factory. The explosions occurred after TFG soldiers attempted to take the gun and the vehicle. It is the first time such tactics have been reported. Casualties could not be established. At least one workshop for the production of IEDs was discovered during a search operation conducted by TFG forces. Two suspected AS fighters were arrested at the site and handed over to the NSA. |
