notes: Al Shabaab fighters launched a series of 'hit-and-run' style attacks against government forces in the Keerowfogi neighbourhood of Bairoda. The two sides engaged in a brief exchange of gunfire before al Shabaab withdrew. An off-duty third-party security guard working for a UN agency was hit and killed by a stray bullet.
