location: El Wak
notes: 05 June. Al Shabaab fighters took control of Ceel Waaq town. Al Shabaab fighters shot and killed (possibly executed following takeover) two men, believed to be clan militias who fought alongside local forces. Al Shabaab burnt down the residence of the district commissioner and summoned residents at the local mosque. The local forces left from the town to Ceel-Waaq in Kenya for safety. Three hours later, al Shabaab withdrew from the town. Al Shabaab fighters amassed again around the town three days later with the believed aim of overtaking the village for the second time in a week.
