Kenya is now retaliating against al-Shabab for last week’s massacre of students at a Kenyan university, sending warplanes to bomb the extremist group’s camps in neighboring Somalia, officials stated.
Kenyan air force jets attacked al-Shabab positions Sunday afternoon and Monday morning,. –Col. David Obonyo, a military spokesman
Obonyo added that the planes had bombed camps in Gondodowe and Ismail, both in the Gedo region bordering Kenya.
The Kenyan military reportedly had information that attacks inside Kenya have originated from those sites.
Two camps hosting militants in Gondodowe and Sheikh Ismaili were destroyed. We have been able to confirm that through satellite. A vehicle suspected to carry militants was also destroyed in Gondodowe.
