Galkacyo, Somalia (Horn Observer) The US Africa reportedly conducted an airstrike at the Golis Mountains, approximately 65 km southeast of Bossaso on Tuesday, US Africa Command said in a press release.

Regional forces allied
with Somalia’s Puntland state of Somalia, getting limited air support from the
International partners, have been
fighting ISIS fighters based on the mountainous areas of Bari region with
partial success.
"In coordination with the Federal Government
of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) conducted airstrikes targeting
ISIS-Somalia on Nov. 18, 2025.” US Africa Command said, "The airstrikes
occurred in the vicinity of the Golis Mountains, approximately 65 km southeast
of Bossaso.”
"AFRICOM, alongside
the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces, continues to take
action to degrade ISIS-Somalia's ability to threaten the U.S. Homeland, our
forces, and our citizens abroad.” The Statement added.
Analysts believe that
the fight against ISIS could take long term and might have both economic and
security setbacks not only for Somalis but also beyond.
