Al-Shabaab targets Ethiopian military base in SomaliaDOLOW, Somalia - Al-Shabaab militants have reignited their retaliatory attacks against security forces in Somalia, with the group claiming responsibility for yet another attack in the Gedo region, targeting Ethiopian National Defense Forces [ENDF] serving within Dolow town near the common border of the two countries. A contingent of Ethiopian troops is stationed in Dolow and has been critical in boosting security along the common border. In a statement shortly afterward, Al-Shabaab claimed that it sent two suicide bombers to target the Ethiopian military base near Doolow, terming the operation "successful". On May 26, the militants attacked Ugandan military base in Bulo Marer Forward Operating Base, killing several soldiers in the process. Al-Shabaab has been targeting military bases in the country for the last several years in Somalia.
