AS attacked TFG/AMISOM positions in Boondheere district at about 02:00. Around 05:30 TFG/AMISOM launched a counter attack and took control of former Interior Minister building, Italian & Syrian Embassy, Manopolyo road junction, former Somaliweyn Radio building, Tabeelaha Ja'elka, Boondheere District Head Quarters, Police Station and former Royal Hotel in Boondheere district. At least 10 people (fighters included) were killed and 20 others were injured. Following the clashes AS Operations Spokesman Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Abu Mus'ab claimed that AS destroyed 2 AMISOM tanks and a bulldozer and forced another tank to get trapped in a trench. AMISOM acting spokesman Captain Barosber Hakasimi denied the AS claims and stated that TFG/AMISOM gained control over the entire Boondheere district. Evidence provided by AS proves the destruction of a bulldozer and a trapped tank but none of the published photos features either of the supposedly destroyed tank. |
