SOMALIA AND NIGERIA — Somali security forces captured five militants in a targeted operation in Muqdisho on January 23 seizing explosives, weapons, and vehicles linked to Al-Shabaab and ISIS-Somalia, while a U.S. airstrike two days earlier in the Golis Mountains eliminated multiple ISIS operatives.
In northeastern Nigeria’s Borno State, a terrorist attack on a military center resulted in dozens of armed forces casualties, prompting airstrikes that killed over 40 militants and disrupted further assaults.
