 Somalia Strikes Back: Danab Commandos Deal Major Blow to al-Shabab in Lower Jubba

In a powerful show of strength, the Somali National Army’s elite Danab Commandos launched a decisive operation in the Lower Jubba region, killing more than 37 al-Shabab militants in Maqoogaha village. Backed by international partners, this mission struck at the core of one of the terrorist group’s operational zones, located just 13 kilometers west of Buulo Xaaji.

Among the casualties were key al-Shabab leaders whose deaths represent a significant blow to the network’s command structure. The Ministry of Defense praised the precision and professionalism of Danab forces, calling the mission a vital part of Somalia’s broader strategy to eliminate extremist threats.

“This is not just a tactical success — it’s a strategic victory,” the Ministry stated. “Our operations are designed to break their infrastructure and restore lasting peace to every corner of Somalia.”

The campaign against terror is far from over. With further offensives planned, Somalia remains firmly on the path to reclaiming its security and sovereignty — led by the fearless Danab forces and supported by international allies.

As the dust settles in Maqoogaha, one thing is clear: Somalia is done playing defense. The offensive is on — and terror is being driven out.
