Mogadishu,Somalia-A joint military operation between the Federal Government of Somalia and U.S. Africa Command (US AFRICOM) was executed earlier today in the rugged mountainous terrain of Calmiskaad, located in the Bari region of Puntland. The operation, which specifically aimed at dismantling Daesh (ISIS) militants in the region, is part of the ongoing collaborative efforts to combat extremist groups in Somalia.

Puntland’s Darawish forces played a crucial role in the operation, working alongside Somali federal troops and their U.S. counterparts to eliminate the ISIS threat. The military forces have yet to provide an official tally of casualties inflicted upon ISIS forces, with a comprehensive assessment currently underway. Authorities have promised to release a full report once the operation concludes.

The Somali government, in partnership with U.S. forces, has emphasized its commitment to intensifying efforts to combat both ISIS and Al-Shabaab, two of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the region. This operation underscores the ongoing military strategy to eliminate extremist groups that continue to destabilize Somalia and the broader Horn of Africa region.

The success of this operation is seen as a vital step in reinforcing national security, ensuring regional stability, and safeguarding local communities against the growing threat posed by extremist militants.
