Mogadishu, (SONNA) – Today, the Somali National Army, in collaboration with the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), conducted a joint airstrike operation that significantly impacted Al Shabaab militants following their failed attack on the town of Alkowsar in the Middle Shabelle region of Hirshabelle State.
The airstrike, executed by U.S. AFRICOM in partnership with the Somali National Army, specifically targeted Al Shabaab militants and their leadership, who had been defeated in earlier confrontations with the National Armed Forces and brave local community fighters.
An assessment of enemy casualties from today’s operation is currently underway, and the Somali public will receive updates as more information becomes available.
The Federal Government of Somalia, in collaboration with international partners such as U.S. AFRICOM, remains committed to strengthening joint efforts to eliminate extremist groups that pose a threat to the Somali people and the global community.
