Toughest day in the war so far, Over 40 ISIS Terrorists Killed as Puntland Troops Advance Boosaaso (PP News Desk) — An intense battle took place today in Jeceel Valley in the Calmiskaad mountain range after Puntland Defence Forces advanced on ISIS hideouts. A spokesman for the Puntland Defence Forces stated that Puntland troops “have fully taken control of all areas targeted for counterterrorism operations today.” The spokesman added that more than 40 ISIS terrorists were killed in today’s battle, while many others were wounded. “Our troops are still pursuing fleeing ISIS terrorists” the spokesman said. The battle at Jeceel Valley resulted in the highest number of ISIS casualties to date, after the proscribed group attempted to hold out in hideouts at Dharin and Haraaryo. Graphic photos shared on social media indicate that most of the ISIS terrorists killed in the battle “were foreigners.” Meanwhile, a top ISIS official, Abdirahman Shirwa Aw Saeed, yesterday surrendered to Puntland Defence Forces yesterday. In 2022 a Puntland martial court sentenced Abdirahman to execution by firing squad for masterminding the murder of Somali citizens through a network of terrorists affiliated with ISIS and Al-Shabaab. © Puntland Post, 2025. https://x.com/puntlandpost/status/1886874436462371312

Unconfirmed reports indicate Deputy Daacish leader C/Raxmaan Ciise Faahiye killed in the air strikes along with 18 of his security staff. Focus now shifts to Caal Madow and Sanaag.

Juxa poking fun at Villa Xamar. "First time ever Villa Somalia says a word about the existence of ISIS! Marka runtu kaa daba timaaddo ood weydo geed aad ku gabato". https://twitter.com/FarahJuxa/status/1885772741212610831

Deni & his commanders have been in the 3C (Situation Room). Sadly AfriCom could not trust the intel with the Fed. gov't, lest leaked, and Xasan was informed as a formality to satisfy rules of engagement in the theatre of war. Besides, Fed. gov't was hardly a part to the war at any stage, have not commented nor communicated about it, and when they did, they said it was in Northern region, the same label they have used to refer to SL in the past. https://twitter.com/USAfricaCommand/status/1876605459047821579 It is all bluster and hot air on the part of Trump to appear as if in command to his base. Most likely these missions have been in motion well prior to his arrival on the scene. US private army presence on the ground has been more visible in 2024. Remember, he pulled out US personnel on the ground in his first term, and Biden redeployed, yet now he wants to claim credit, as if forgotten. UAE owns the political class in Somalia now from PL to SL to JL and farther afield. Same as Yemen, Sudan, Chad etc. Is Xamar today different from when Farmaajo was in charge? Has he really made discernible progress? Anything tangible to underscore? I have not noticed any difference, if anything it is more chaotic now that before, with its security apparatus disjointed, lacking cohesion, more disgruntled civilian population at the bottom of the ladder, and life being more expensive.

Xasan was the only Somali gov't official informed, and it was done after the fact.

Trump full of tookh, bravado, and hot air to make himself look as if doing something. This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians. Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did! The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”

And then came the first press release, yet the conflict started in Nov, 2024. Truth is UAE coordinated the bombardments with the US, and the intel came from PSI. 12 ISIS leaders as said to have been killed in the air strikes including its leader, Abdinasir A Xafith, a Yemeni national.

New batch of PL security forces heading to the front. Cal Miskaad under control. Cal Madow next!
