Somalia

Residents are leaving the town of Bardale after heavy fighting between Ethiopian and Shabaab fighters. Shabaab has declared a nighttime curfew in Kismayo. Two Kenyan soldiers were killed and three were wounded after “bandits” crossed the border from Somalia and stole weapons and ammunition.
