MOGADISHU, SONNA – The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), in collaboration with international partners, conducted a successful aerial operation last night targeting a al-shabaab Kharijites convoy in Sigato and Labi Aw-Hasan, between Ruun-Nirgood and Al-Kawther districts in Middle Shabelle.
The precision airstrike destroyed multiple vehicles carrying heavy explosives, eliminating the militants escorting them. One of the destroyed vehicles, Prada locally known as Layla Alawi, was intended for an attack on a mosque in Al-Kawther district.
The Kharijites have previously targeted places of worship, including mosques in El Ali Ahmed, Daru-Nimca, Buuloburde, Bahdo, and Qayib. However, this latest operation successfully prevented another devastating attack.
The Somali government reaffirms its commitment to combating terrorism, ensuring national security, and safeguarding civilians from extremist threats. Security operations will continue to eliminate terrorist elements across the country.
