On February 20, 2025, the Somali National Army (SNA), in collaboration with the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), conducted successful operations and airstrikes targeting the terrorist group Al-Shabaab.
These operations were carried out near the Bulo-burte district in the Hiiraan region of Hirshabelle state. Such joint efforts are part of ongoing counterterrorism initiatives aimed at weakening Al-Shabaab’s capabilities and reducing its influence in the region.
The collaboration highlights the continued partnership between Somalia and international forces in addressing security challenges and promoting stability in the Horn of Africa.
