 Somalia Strikes Back: 25 Al-Shabaab Militants Killed in Lower Juba Airstrike

In a bold and successful offensive, the Somali National Army (SNA), led by its elite Danab forces and supported by international allies, has struck a major blow against Al-Shabaab in the Lower Juba region. According to the Ministry of Defense, at least 25 terrorists were killed in precision airstrikes on a key Al-Shabaab command center near Maqooqaha—roughly 100 km northwest of Kismayo.

The target wasn’t just symbolic. It was strategic. The site served as a command hub for planning terrorist attacks on Somali civilians and soldiers. Now, it lies in ruins.

This operation marks yet another success in Somalia’s ongoing campaign to dismantle the capabilities of terrorist groups like Al-Shabaab and ISIS. Despite years of insurgency, the tide is turning. From Kismayo to the mountains of Galgaduud, Somali forces are reclaiming control, step by step.

As terror groups scramble, the world must recognize what’s unfolding in Somalia: a resilient nation taking its destiny into its own hands—with courage, strategy, and unity.
