Local Somali security forces and armed residents killed on Friday 70 Al Qaeda-linked group militants - Al-Shabaab - in Galmudug state as they repelled a raid on Bahdo town, a local official reported.

Somalia's state broadcaster tweeted images of at least 20 bodies in military clothing that it said belonged to the attackers.

On its part, Al-Shabaab's Radio Andalus claimed that the terrorist group lost nine militants and killed 27 soldiers during confrontations at dawn.
