LATEST — U.S. forces in #Africa (@USAfricaCommand) have sharply escalated airstrikes on Islamic State fighters in #Somalia’s Puntland region, launching a record 59 strikes this year as part of a broader campaign that totals 101 nationwide. At least eight of those attacks occurred this month — most recently on Tuesday — hitting IS positions in the Golis Mountains, where @Plstatehouse troops have battled the group for nearly a year.
