Kenyan forces plan to carry out air strikes on Islamist rebel camps across southern and central Somalia to destroy weapons the military says were flown into the anarchic Horn of Africa country in the past two days.
Military spokesman Major Emmanuel Chirchir used Twitter to warn residents of 10 towns across Somalia that they would be “under attack continuously”.
He told the Guardian that residents should stay away from al-Shabaab camps in the towns because Kenyan forces, which crossed the border into neighbouring Somalia in mid-October to battle the militants, would be attacking soon.
The locations include the port town of Kismayo, an al-Shabaab stronghold, Baidoa, Afmadow and Afgoye, near the capital Mogadishu.
