    The US military conducted an airstrike in Somalia’s Golas Mountains, targeting Islamic State militants. The operation was carried out with the support of the Somali government, which was aimed at eradicating terrorist elements.

    According to initial reports, several militants were killed, while there were no reports of civilian casualties. The strike is part of the US strategy against extremist groups in the region, aimed at curbing terrorist activities.

    Impact of the U.S. Airstrike on Somalia’s Security Situation

    The U.S. military launched a fresh airstrike in Somalia, targeting Islamic State fighters. According to reports, at least 5 to 10 militants were killed in the operation. Over the past three years, more than 200 militants have been killed in Somalia as part of an ongoing operation against terrorist groups by US forces.

    In the year 2024, at least 15 airstrikes were carried out against terrorist groups, aimed at curbing the activities of the militants. However, despite these operations, Somalia has seen a 20 percent increase in militant attacks over the past six months, reflecting the country’s ongoing security challenges.

    Key Targets and Objectives of the U.S Airstrike in Somalia

    The U.S. airstrike targeted key Islamic State leaders, and according to intelligence reports, one to three key militants were present at the target location. More than 30 high-level militants have been killed in such operations in the past, which is part of a broader strategy to weaken terrorist networks.

    The operation was carried out in the Golas mountain region, which is considered one of the Islamic State’s strongholds and where more than 50 fighters are estimated to be active. The main goal of the attack was to disrupt the supply line of the militants, who continue their violent operations in the region with about $2 million in financial support each year.

    Regional and Global Reactions to the U.S. Airstrike in Somalia

    After the U.S. airstrike, Somali officials reported no civilian casualties, which is significant given the number of unintended casualties in the past, where more than 10 percent of civilians were affected in such strikes. The Somali government supported the operation, while regional experts believe that if the airstrikes continue, the strength of the militants could be reduced by 40 percent in the next two years.

    Globally, at least five major countries, including Britain and France, have backed the operation. However, human rights groups say 30 percent of previous airstrikes in Somalia lacked transparency.
