Somalia

After two days of heavy fighting, the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) said they had captured seven Ethiopian towns along the border with Somalia. “A significant number of Ethiopian troops have been killed and their military hardware captured or destroyed”, the group said. An Iranian senior naval commander announced that the navy has decided to send more ships off the coast of Somalia to protect Iranian merchant containers and oil tankers from Somali pirates.
