In his first military action since taking office, President Trump ordered precision airstrikes against ISIS operatives in Somalia's Golis Mountains. Coordinated with the Somali government, the strikes aimed at a senior ISIS planner hiding in caves. Trump announced the initiative on Truth Social, claiming it resulted in multiple terrorist deaths while ensuring no civilian casualties. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the Pentagon's initial assessment, emphasizing the strikes degrade ISIS capabilities and reinforce U.S. resolve against terrorism. This operation occurs amidst challenges in U.S. counterterrorism strategies in Africa and increased ISIS activity in the region.
