Somalia's army has captured a major stronghold from the Islamist militant group, al-Shabab.
The town of El Bur, in central Somalia, had been held by al-Shabab since 2017.
Although the army have taken over, there were no reports of clashes and local correspondents say the jihadist fighters appear to have made a tactical withdrawal.
The development comes days after President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud announced the launch of a second offensive, which he said would eliminate the group within months.
Since last year, government forces working with clan militias have seized swathes of territory from al-Shabab.
The group has been weakened but continues to carry out frequent attacks, including in the capital, Mogadishu.

President Yoweri Museveni’s criticism of the World Bank is an act of "hypocrisy", Ugandan opposition politician and activist Bobi Wine says.
The World Bank announced on 8 August that it would stop new loans to Uganda due to the country's punitive anti-gay law.
Mr Museveni responded by condemning the World Bank, accusing it of trying to coerce Uganda to reverse the controversial law.
However, Bobi Wine has said that Mr Museveni’s criticism of the World Bank is insincere, accusing him of previously working with the World Bank to sell off Ugandan public service infrastructure.
"Your recent outburst about the World Bank withholding future assistance to Uganda is a clear indication of your ideological disorientation and policy nomadism that has characterised your four-decade rule," Bobi Wine posted on X.
The World Bank said the new anti-LGBT law contravenes its values.
LGBT acts were already illegal in Uganda, but anyone now convicted faces life imprisonment under the new law which was enacted in May.
