In a coordinated effort with the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command conducted airstrikes against ISIS-Somalia on February 1, 2025. That is according to the press release by US Africa Command Public Affairs. The initial assessment indicates that multiple ISIS-Somalia operatives were killed in the airstrikes, with no civilian casualties reported. U.S. Africa Command emphasizes its commitment to preventing civilian harm, as protecting civilians remains a vital part of its operations to promote a more secure and stable Africa.

The airstrikes targeted ISIS operatives who were identified as significant threats to regional stability and security. These operatives were involved in planning and executing terrorist activities that posed a danger to both local populations and international interests. By eliminating these threats, U.S. Africa Command aims to disrupt ISIS-Somalia’s operational capabilities and reduce the group’s influence in the region.

This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians. Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did! The message to ISIS and all others
who would attack Americans is that “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”

The airstrikes are part of a broader strategy to combat terrorism and enhance security in Africa. ISIS-Somalia has been responsible for numerous attacks, including bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations, which have destabilized the region and caused significant suffering among civilians. By targeting key operatives, the U.S. and Somali governments aim to weaken the group’s infrastructure and prevent future attacks.

The successful execution of these airstrikes sends a strong message to terrorist organizations operating in Africa. It demonstrates the U.S. commitment to supporting African nations in their fight against terrorism and underscores the importance of international cooperation in addressing security challenges. The operation also highlights the effectiveness of coordinated efforts between the U.S. and African governments in achieving common security goals.

U.S. Africa Command will continue to assess the results of this operation and provide additional information as appropriate. Specific details about the operation will not be released to ensure continued operational security. The command remains vigilant in its efforts to combat terrorism and support stability in Africa.

By taking decisive action against ISIS-Somalia, U.S. Africa Command and the Federal Government of Somalia are working together to create a safer and more stable environment for the people of Somalia and the broader region.
