Recent Airstrike Targets al-Shabaab Leaders in Somalia

In the latest offensive against the al-Shabaab militant group, an airstrike was carried out last night in the Sabale district, located in the Lower Shabelle region of Somalia. This operation specifically targeted high-ranking officers within the group, resulting in the deaths of four foreign fighters who were integral to al-Shabaab’s operations.

The casualties included:

  1. Ali Farooq, a Yemeni officer known for his expertise in explosives.
  2. Teacher Daoud, a Tanzanian national who played a key role in planning security operations.
  3. Saifulah, a media specialist from Kenya.
  4. Muhsin, from Ivory Coast, who was both an explosives expert and an educator.

This strategic strike is part of ongoing efforts to weaken al-Shabaab’s capabilities and curtail their influence in the region.
