US carries out fresh airstrikes on ISIS militants in Somalia: military Posted On 27-09-2025, 01:33PM MOGADISHU, Somalia - The US Africa Command has continued to sustain airstrikes against the ISIS-Somalia militants, proving its support for the stabilization process in the Horn of Africa, and coming out as a dependable partner in the war against violent extremism. Last week, the US military conducted a precision strike in the caves of Calmiskaad mountains within southeast Bosaso, targeting the militants who have been on the run since the operation started late last year. The command said the operation was intended to degrade ISIS-Somalia’s ability to threaten the United States, its allies, and Somali security forces. No casualty figures were released, but it is believed that the military targeted top operatives. Before this particular airstrike, the US Africa Command had conducted a similar operation on September 13th, 2025, which reportedly killed a man believed to have been transporting arms within the Sanaag region for al-Shabaab. However, this claim was disputed by locals who maintained that the victim was a renowned clan elder with no ties to the group. But the US Africa Command, which is closely working with Puntland forces, has yet to give a rebuttal. So far, the US Africa Command has conducted close to 79 airstrikes in Somalia targeting both the Al-Shabaab militants and the ISIS militants. Puntland regional troops have been conducting special operations alongside the US troops. According to General Abdi Hassan Hussein, the former Puntland police chief, close to 200 ISIS fighters remain in the Cal-Miskaad mountains. Among them is a small number of foreign fighters who are training them. The strike came just days after Gen. Abdi Ali Qalyare, commander of Puntland’s second Darwish battalion, was killed in a roadside bomb attack. The ISIS militants are fleeing for their safety following sustained attacks against them.

Sunday September 28, 2025 Garowe (HOL) — Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni said regional forces have crippled the power of more than 2,000 ISIS fighters in northeastern Somalia, most of them foreign, during a long-running campaign in the Calmiskaad Mountains. In an interview outlining the offensive, Deni said Puntland intelligence foiled a planned assault on the port city of Bosaso in June after receiving early warnings of the plot. The regional leader added that the group, once dug in along the Jaceel River, has now been reduced to only a few hundred fighters split into cells of about ten. “The forces have defeated the militants’ power by 95 percent,” Deni said. He described how ISIS stockpiled weapons and built bases and small factories to manufacture arms, evidence they intended to entrench themselves in the region. The campaign has come at a high cost. Deni said hundreds of Puntland soldiers were killed and thousands wounded in the fighting. He thanked the United States and the United Arab Emirates for what he called “visible support” through airstrikes and intelligence sharing. ISIS established a foothold in Puntland nearly a decade ago, though it has remained far smaller than al-Shabaab. Deni’s remarks mark his most detailed account yet of his administration’s fight against the extremist group.
