US Attacks Northwestern Somalia, Trump Reports ‘Many’ Killed
On Saturday, the United States launched multiple airstrikes against northwestern Somalia’s Golis Mountain range. Details are still coming in, but President Trump, in announcing the attack on Truth Social, said that “many” were killed.
The leader of Puntland made a statement later claiming the US airstrikes killed 46 ISIS members including 12 fighters from unnamed “Arab countries.” His statement provided no names, and there’s been no confirmation of the actual toll.
Trump and other officials are reporting the attacks targeted a yet-unnamed “senior ISIS planner.” Trump bragged that former President Biden wouldn’t act quickly enough to kill him “but I did!” There is no report on who this was, or whether he was actually among the slain, such details are likely to emerge later in the weekend.
