Somali government forces backed by troops and armour sent by the African Union have flushed the Islamist group Al-Shabaab out of the strategic town of Burhakaba 160 kilometers southwest of the Somali capital Mogadishu.
The government has also seized control of the connecting road.
Reports say not a single shot was fired.
Al-Shabaab remains in control in areas further to the southwest.
Since the early 1990s, Somalia has been faring without a central government.
