Somalian army forces warded off an attack from Al-Shabaab after the militants detonated a car bomb and stormed the base in the nation’s south.
An official states the military repelled the attack and killed 87 enemy fighters, dismissing Al-Shabaab’s claim they overran the base and killed 27 soldiers.
The attack follows a similar incident on the same base last month by al-Shabaab, which wounded seven soldiers.
