US Airstrike Targets ISIS Global Leader in Somalia

Pentagon officials confirm Abdulqadir Mumin was the intended target, but his fate remains uncertain

The airstrike on May 31 aimed to eliminate Abdulqadir Mumin, head of ISIS in Somalia and global leader.
Three ISIS militants were killed, though it is unclear if Mumin was among them.
Mumin ascended to global leadership of ISIS after his predecessor's death in 2022.
Africa Command reported no civilian casualties from the strike.
ISIS views Africa as a strategic location for expansion due to operational freedom.
