Puntland is mourning the loss of two soldier brothers who died in battle against ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) in Somalia.
The brothers were reportedly fighting against the extremist group, which has been attempting to establish a foothold in the region.
Their deaths highlight the ongoing struggle against terrorism in Somalia and the sacrifices made by local forces to combat such threats.
The incident has likely deepened the resolve of Puntland’s security forces and the local community to continue resisting ISIL’s presence in the area.
