U.S. Airstrike Targets Islamic State Positions in Somalia

President Trump announces precision strikes in Puntland's Golis Mountains, claiming multiple IS fighters killed.

President Donald Trump confirmed U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State (IS) targets in Somalia's Golis Mountains, located in the Puntland region.
Trump stated that the operation targeted a high-ranking IS member responsible for organizing attacks and recruiting fighters in Somalia.
According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, initial assessments indicate several IS fighters were killed, with no reported civilian casualties.
The Golis Mountains have seen an influx of IS fighters from the Middle East in recent months, intensifying regional tensions with the Al-Shabaab militant group.
The U.S. has conducted similar strikes against Islamist militants in Somalia before, though these operations are rarely publicized to this extent.
