索马里国防部周二表示，政府军在该国西南部拜州的一场持续数小时的战斗中，击毙75名以上“青年党”武装分子，并打伤另外56人。
Somali forces killed more than 75 al-Shabaab militants and wounded another 56 during an hours-long battle in the country's southwestern Bay region, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday.
战斗爆发于“青年党”武装分子袭击一支在莱戈镇和布尔哈卡巴镇之间运送物资的索马里军事车队之后，该地区属于西南州。
The fighting erupted after al-Shabaab militants attacked a Somali military convoy carrying supplies between the towns of Leego and Burhakaba in South West state.
国防部称，在“巴努达行动”框架下行动的部队奋力击退袭击并保护了车队。
The ministry said troops operating under Operation Banooda fought to repel the attack and protect the convoy.
国防部表示，战斗期间，“青年党”武装分子驾驶一辆装载炸药的车辆冲向索马里军队阵地，但该车在到达目标前即发生爆炸。
During the battle, al-Shabaab militants drove an explosives-laden vehicle toward a Somali army position, but it detonated before reaching its target, the ministry said.
国防部称，军队将继续追击“青年党”武装分子以及为其提供支持或庇护者。伤亡数字无法独立核实。
The ministry said the army would continue pursuing al-Shabaab militants and those providing them with support or shelter. The casualty figures could not be independently verified.
索马里政府称“青年党”为“哈瓦利吉”，用以指代该基地组织关联组织，自2007年以来，该组织一直同政府军和非洲联盟维和部队交战。
The Somali government refers to al-Shabaab as "Khawaarij," a term it uses to describe the al-Qaeda-affiliated group, which has been fighting government forces and African Union peacekeepers since 2007.
自7月以来，在非洲联盟驻索马里支持稳定特派团（AUSSOM）及其他国际伙伴的支持下，索马里军队加大了对该组织的打击力度。
Since July, the Somali army, backed by the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) and other international partners, has intensified operations against the group.
联合国安理会于2025年12月续授AUSSOM任务，将其授权期限延长至2026年12月31日。
