Security sources say overnight strikes in Qandala district followed about four weeks of surveillance; no official confirmation or casualty figures yet.
US forces carried out overnight airstrikes on suspected Islamic State positions in Qandala district in Somalia's northeastern Bari region, security sources said. The strikes reportedly targeted areas of Puntland's Al-Miskad mountain range, where regional forces have waged a long campaign against the group.
Strikes Focus on Qandala District Locations
The bombardments mainly hit Dabalyal and Halbaladi, and positions east of Dhadar, near areas held by Puntland's Darawiish forces around the Ja'il Sari valley, according to security sources. A second account described the targets as Dabablayaal and Hal Baalade, east of Dhaadaar, near Puntland security positions around Togga Jaceel Sare. Suspicious movements were also reported near the Wangabli well and in the Gub and Gurdadin areas.
Surveillance Preceded the Operation
Security sources said the operation followed approximately four weeks of intelligence gathering and surveillance. That reporting identified concentrations of ISIS operatives said to coordinate field activities and plan the use of improvised explosive devices and landmines. Local sources said operatives, particularly those involved in operations and landmine planting, had gathered in Hal Baalade and Dabablayaal. There was no immediate official confirmation from US Africa Command or Puntland authorities, and casualties and damage were not immediately known.
Valley Serves as a Stronghold
Security assessments indicate ISIS has maintained a significant presence along the eastern side of the Ja'il valley, described as one of its principal strongholds and operational centers, with command facilities, medical installations and defensive positions. On September 27, the group reportedly launched an attack using explosive-laden drones in the Dasan area. On September 5, a landmine explosion between Shi'ab and Dhadar killed one of its members, according to the same sources.
