The strike took place about 37 miles southeast of Bosaso, the capital of Bari region, and targeted a hideout housing ISIS members. It is the second US airstrike in Puntland in two weeks. The previous strike took place in Sanaag region on September 13. AFRICOM said it killed a businessman who was supplying arms to Al-Shabaab, but local residents and traditional elders argued that the target was a well-known peacekeeper with no ties to Al-Shabaab. However, AFRICOM has carried out 79 airstrikes in Somalia this year alone, breaking the previous record set by the Trump administration. On the other hand, the former Puntland Police Chief, Gen. Abdi Hassan Hussein (Abdi Yare) said that the number of ISIS fighters in the Al-Calmisqaad mountains is between 150 and 200. He said that there are very few foreigners left in the mountains.

Bosaso (Caasimada Online) – New information is available on the manner of death of the leaders of the Somali ISIS group, mostly foreigners, whose bodies were left in the mountains of Al-Khalifa. Emerging security information shows that since the beginning of the second phase of the Al-Khalifa operation, many leaders belonging to the foreign wing of ISIS have blown themselves up to prevent them from being captured alive. The foreign leaders, most of whom were white, began to blow themselves up in the battles that took place in the Jecel stream, during the second phase of the operation, especially during the battles of Haraaryo, which continued until the Miraale and Baallade operations. The self-destruction of foreign fighters began in the battles of Dharjaale, while the leaders of the group began to blow themselves up in the Jecel stream after the capture of Turmasaale, and continued to the areas of the Baallade stream on the outskirts of Bosaso, according to security sources. The data shows that the most important foreign ISIS leaders have been using suicide bombings regularly during the second phase of this operation. This action has significantly weakened the group’s leadership, as most of the most senior foreign officers have left the battlefield. Based on the information currently available, it can be estimated that the majority of ISIS leaders, who were mostly white foreigners from more than 20 different countries, are no longer alive today. Since the start of the war against ISIS, the Puntland administration has said that it has killed 700 foreign ISIS fighters. The Puntland report added that only five Somalis lost their lives in the operation. These fighters came from Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. Most of the foreign fighters entered the country illegally or under the guise of refugees, especially those from Ethiopia who later joined ISIS, according to the authorities. There were also those who crossed the border from Yemen secretly, using smugglers' boats, which meant they entered the country without any travel documents. Puntland claims that it has so far eliminated 70% of ISIS fighters in the Al-Qaida mountains, most of whom were foreigners. However, this represents the largest number of foreign fighters killed in a short period of time in Somalia.

Boosaaso (Caasimada Online) – Xogo cusub ayaa laga helaya qaabka ay u dhinteen horjoogayaasha kooxda Daacish-ta Soomaaliya oo u badan ajaanib, kuwaas oo maydadkooda looga tegay buuraha Calmiskaad. Xogaha amni ee soo baxaya ayaa muujinaya in tan iyo bilowgii wajigii labaad ee hawl-galka Calmiskaad ay is qarxiyeen horjoogayaal badan oo ka tirsanaa garabka ajaanibta ee Daacish, si looga hortago in nolol lagu qabto. Horjoogayaasha ajaanibta oo intooda badan ahaayeen cadaan ayaa is qarxinta ku bilaabay dagaalladii ka dhacay togga Jeceel, xilligii uu socday wajigii labaad ee hawl-galkan, gaar ahaan intii lagu jiray dagaalladii Haraaryo, taas oo socotay ilaa hawl-galladii Miraale iyo Baallade. Is-qarxinta dagaallamayaasha ajaanibta ayaa bilowday dagaalladii Dharjaale, halka horjoogayaasha kooxdu ay is qarxinta ka bilaabeen togga Jeceel wixii ka dambeeyay qabashadii Turmasaale, una sii gudbay ilaa deegaannada togga Baallade ee ku yaalla duleedka Boosaaso, sida ay sheegeen ilo-wareedyo amni. Xogtu waxay muujinaysaa in horjoogayaasha ugu muhiimsan kooxda Daacish ee ajnabiga ah ay si joogto ah u adeegsadeen is-qarxinta intii uu socday wajigii labaad ee hawl-galkan. Tallaabadan ayaa keentay in si weyn loo wiiqo awooddii hoggaamineed ee kooxda, maadaama inta badan saraakiishii ugu sarreeyay ee ajaanibta ahayd ay ka baxeen goobaha dagaalka. Marka la eego xogaha hadda la helayo, waxaa la qiyaasi karaa in horjoogayaashii ugu badnaa ee Daacish, kuwaas oo u badnaa ajaanib caddaan ah kana yimid in ka badan 20 dal oo kala duwan aysan maanta wax badan ka noolayn. Tan iyo markii uu bilowday dagaalka ka dhanka Daacish waxa uu maamulka Puntland sheegay inuu dilay 700 dagaalyahan oo ajaanib ah, oo ka tirsanaa Daacish. Warbixinta Puntland ayaa intaas ku dartay in Soomaalida ku naf waayay howl-galkaasi ay ahaayeen shan qof oo keliya. Dagaal-yahannadan ayaa ka kala yimid qaaradda Yurub, Waqooyiga Ameerika, Afrika iyo Aasiya. Inta badan dagaal-yahannada ajaanibta ah waxay ku soo galeen dalka si sharci darro ah ama iyagoo iska dhigay qaxooti, gaar ahaan kuwa ka yimid Itoobiya oo markii dambe ku biiray Daacish, sida uu sheegay maamulka. Waxaa kaloo jiray kuwo si qarsoodi ah uga soo gudbay xeebaha Yemen, iyagoo adeegsanayay doomaha tahriibka, taas oo ka dhigan inay dalka soo galeen iyagoo aan haysan wax dukumeenti safar ah. Puntland ayaa ku andacootay in ilaa hadda la tirtiiray 70% dagaal-yahannadii Daacish ee ku sugnaa buuraha Calmiskaad, kuwaas oo badankood ahaa ajaanib. Si kastaba, tan ayaa ka dhigan tiradii ugu badneyd ee dagaal-yahano ajaanib ah muddo kooban lagu dilo gudaha Soomaaliya.
