KISMAYO, Somalia – In a strategic counterterrorism operation late Sunday night, Jubbaland’s elite special forces eliminated two Al-Shabaab militants and captured another in Kismayo. The operation targeted a safe house where the cell, known for high-profile assassinations, was reportedly planning further attacks.
A senior security official confirmed that the raid was based on actionable intelligence, preventing imminent threats to key figures in the region.
The assault was swift and precise, conducted under the cover of darkness. The two militants killed were identified as central figures in Al-Shabaab’s assassination network, while the captured operative remains in custody for interrogation. Authorities are leveraging this intelligence to dismantle further insurgent activities.
In parallel, Jubbaland Police launched a comprehensive security sweep across multiple neighborhoods, reinforcing efforts to stabilize the region. Officers conducted vehicle checks, ID verifications, and detained several individuals for further questioning.
A police spokesperson emphasized that these measures are crucial to maintaining security and dismantling Al-Shabaab’s influence.
