The Kenyan army said four troops were killed in action and 10 have been wounded since it launched its incursion in Somalia to battle Shabaab in mid-October. Another four troops were killed in the crash of a helicopter on the first day of the intervention. The Kenyan army is "not necessarily headed for the key port of Kismayo," Kenyan Defense Minister Yusuf Haji said Friday.
