Armed forces of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) launched a broad multiple front military operation against military positions of the Woyanne regime occupation army liberating seven towns in Ogaden on Tuesday, 10 November, 2009. The operation involved thousands of ONLF troops and resulted in two days of heavy fighting. A significant number of Woyanne troops have been killed and their military hardware captured or destroyed during this operation.
ONLF forces entered the towns of Obolka located near Harar, Hamaro located to the East of Fik, Higlaaley near Degah Bur, Yucub located 40km from Wardheer, Galadiid located 35km from Kabri Dahar, Boodhaano near the city of Godey, Gunogabo located near Degah Bur,
