US Airstrikes Hit Puntland Posted On 08-07-2025, 12:35PM GAROWE, Somalia – The US Africa Command (AFRICOM) on July 7 carried out an airstrike in the Baallade Valley in northeastern Somalia, specifically in the eastern Bari region of Puntland, targeting ISIS militants, Somali officials confirmed. The strike is part of a joint operation by the US, Puntland Defense Forces, UAE forces and local fighters, who have been pursuing ISIS militants hiding in the Cal-Miskaad mountains since December 2024. They had previously carried out targeted attacks there, but after seven months, most of the ISIS fighters have been killed or captured, as the forces have made significant gains in the mountainous region. The Baallade Valley, near the commercial city of Bosaso, remains a stronghold of ISIS militants, but a major push is underway to retake all areas still held by the group. The commander of the Puntland forces, General Ahmed Abdullahi Sheikh, said the airstrike carried out overnight was well-targeted: “This successful airstrike in the Baallade Valley in Cal-Miskaad was precise and achieved its objective. The cooperation between the United States and other partners is now consistently producing tangible results, especially the elimination of key ISIS targets,” he said. Operation Hilac has entered its final phase, with Puntland insisting that the fight to destroy ISIS will continue until it is completely destroyed. President Donald Trump earlier this year officially announced a US airstrike in Somalia that killed a senior ISIS leader. He pledged that the United States would continue to support Somali forces to achieve full stability. Puntland, the most stable and developed state in Somalia, has become the main hub of the fight against ISIS inside the country. GAROWE ONLINE

Duqeyn Cirka oo Mareykanku Ka Fuliyay Puntland Posted On 08-07-2025, 12:35PM GAROWE, Soomaaliya – Taliska Ciidanka Mareykanka ee Afrika (AFRICOM) ayaa 7-dii Luulyo fuliyay duqeyn cirka ah oo ka dhacday dooxada Baallade ee ku taalla waqooyi-bari Soomaaliya, gaar ahaan bariga gobolka Bari ee Puntland, halkaas oo lagu beegsaday maleeshiyaadka ISIS, sida ay xaqiijiyeen saraakiil Soomaaliyeed. Weerarkan ayaa qeyb ka ah hawlgalka wadajirka ah ee Mareykanka, Ciidanka Difaaca Puntland, ciidamada Imaaraadka Carabta iyo dagaalyahanno deegaanka ah, kuwaas oo tan iyo bishii Diseembar 2024 daba joogay firxadka ISIS ee ku dhuumaaleysanaya buuraha Cal-Miskaad. Halkaas ayay horay uga fulin jireen weerarro qorsheysan, balse muddo toddoba bilood ah kadib, inta badan dagaalyahanadii ISIS ayaa la dilay ama la qabtay, iyadoo ciidamadu guulo la taaban karo ka gaareen deegaanka buuraleyda ah. Dooxada Baallade oo ku dhow magaalada ganacsiga ee Boosaaso, ayaa weli kamid ah goobaha ay ku sugan yihiin maleeshiyaadka ISIS, balse waxaa socda dedaal xooggan oo lagu doonayo in dib loogala wareego dhammaan deegaannada ay weli gacanta ku hayaan kooxdaasi. Taliyaha ciidamada Puntland, Jeneraal Axmed Cabdullaahi Sheekh, ayaa sheegay in weerarka cirka ee habeenimadii la fuliyay uu ahaa mid si sax ah loo bartilmaameedsaday: “Weerarkan cirka oo si guul leh uga dhacay dooxada Baallade ee Cal-Miskaad wuxuu ahaa mid sax ah, oo lagu gaaray ujeedkiisii. Wada-shaqeynta Mareykanka iyo saaxiibada kale waxay hadda si joogto ah u keeneysaa natiijooyin muuqda, gaar ahaan ciribtirka bartilmaameedyada muhiimka ah ee ISIS,” ayuu yiri. Hawlgalka Hilaac ayaa galay marxaladiisii ugu dambeysay, iyadoo Puntland ay ku adkaysanayso in dagaalka lagu baabi'inayo kooxda ISIS uu sii socon doono ilaa laga cirib tiro gebi ahaanba. Madaxweyne Donald Trump ayaa horraantii sannadkan 2025 si rasmi ah ugu dhawaaqay duqeyn Mareykanku ka fuliyay Soomaaliya oo lagu dilay sarkaal sare oo ka tirsan ISIS. Wuxuu ballan qaaday in Mareykanku sii wadi doono taageerada uu siiyo ciidamada Soomaaliya si ay u gaaraan xasillooni buuxda. Puntland, oo ah dawlad-goboleedka ugu xasilloon uguna horumarsan Soomaaliya, ayaa noqotay xarunta ugu weyn ee dagaalka ka dhanka ah ISIS ee gudaha dalka. GAROWE ONLINE
