The US military has carried out airstrikes against Islamic State (ISIS) targets in Somalia, as announced by President Donald Trump.
“This morning I ordered precision military airstrikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the airstrikes focused on IS-Somalia militants in the Golis mountains, located in Puntland, a semi-autonomous region of the country.

“Our initial assessment is that multiple operatives were killed in the airstrikes and no civilians were harmed,” Hegseth stated.
According to Hegseth, the strikes further diminish ISIS’s capacity to “plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians. It sends a clear message that the United States is always prepared to track down and eliminate terrorists who pose a threat to the U.S. and our allies.”
Trump added, “The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘We will find you, and we will kill you!'”
