US Airstrikes Hit Somalia on Christmas Day as Trump Continues Unprecedented Bombing Campaign
US airstrikes hit Somalia’s Puntland region on December 25, Christmas Day, according to a press release from US Africa Command, as the Trump administration continues a record-shattering bombing campaign in the country.
The command said that its forces conducted “airstrikes” against the ISIS affiliate in the Puntland region, about 55 miles to the southeast of the Gulf of Aden port city of Bosaso. AFRICOM offered no other details about the strikes, as it stopped sharing casualty estimates earlier this year.
The Christmas strikes were part of a series of US attacks announced last week by AFRICOM. The command said its forces launched airstrikes in the same area on December 22, December 23, and December 24.
