President Donald Trump ordered military airstrikes in Somalia, targeting Islamic State leaders and militants in the Cal Miskaad Mountains. Trump stated that the strikes destroyed terrorist hideouts without harming civilians. The strike followed the recent arrest of ISIS members in East Africa and aimed to disrupt ISIS`s ability to launch attacks. Puntland`s information minister confirmed the attack, noting explosions were heard, though casualty numbers remain unclear. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud thanked the U.S. for its support in the fight against terrorism. Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth emphasized that the strikes showed the U.S. commitment to eliminating threats to national security, continuing operations under President Trump`s leadership.
