STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- At least 30 militants are killed in the joint operation
- It targeted a hideout in Kolbio, Somalia, Kenyan Defense Force official says
- It comes on the heels of a raid by Kenyan warplanes on a training camp
The operation targeted an Al-Shabaab hideout in Kolbio, Somalia, Col. Cyrus Oguna of the Kenyan Defense Force said.
The al Qaeda-linked
Islamist group has been connected to the attack in Nairobi's Westgate
mall last month where 67 people were killed.

militant training camp inside Somalia.
Kenyan officials say the terror group has used camps to train operatives, including attackers who targeted Westgate mall.
