BELEDWEYNE [SMN] - Ethiopian warplanes have bombed parts of the Hiran region in central Somalia today.

According to local residents, the airstrike targeted areas where Al-Shabaab militants were present.

There is no statement from the Ethiopian government or Al-Shabaab regarding the air raid and the official losses that resulted.
