Kenya planes attack Somali 'militant camp' in Hosingow

At least 15 civilians have been killed in two air raids on an Islamist-controlled village in Somalia near the Kenyan border, witnesses told the BBC. Kenya's military confirmed it had carried out two attacks by air on an al-Shabab camp in the area of Hosingow village, killing 17 militants. [...]

The attacks happened on Tuesday at 12:00 local time (09:00 GMT) and 15:30 (12:30 GMT), Kenya's military spokesman Maj Emmanuel Chirchir said on his micro-blogging Twitter account. A senior al-Shabab commander, an al-Shabab administrator and 15 fighters died in the two raids, he later told the BBC.

"There are no civilians that were injured in this incursion," he said. But a village elder in Hosingow, Abdallahi Abdi Mahad, told the BBC's Somali Service that 15 civilians had died, including a whole family in one house, and more than 20 people had been wounded in the attacks.
