Mogadishu, (SONNA) — The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), in collaboration with international partners, carried out a successful counter-terrorism operation last night in Basra, Middle Shabelle region, killing seven Al-Shabaab terrorists, including key leaders and fighters. Three others were wounded during the raid after their hideout was precisely targeted.
The operation was launched following credible intelligence reports confirming that the terrorists were planning to carry out attacks aimed at disrupting security along the Mogadishu–Balcad corridor. Approximately 40 militants had assembled at the targeted site, where NISA forces swiftly neutralized the threat and destroyed their hideout.
The mission concluded without any civilian casualties, marking another significant success in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
NISA reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the nation and preventing any attempts by Al-Shabaab terrorists to undermine peace and stability.
