In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) conducted an airstrike against ISIS-Somalia on April 11, 2025.

The airstrike occurred southeast of Bosasso, Puntland, in Northeastern Somalia.

AFRICOM’s current assessment is that the airstrike killed one ISIS terrorist and that no civilians were harmed. 

ISIS-Somalia has proved both its will and capability to attack U.S. forces. 

AFRICOM, alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces, continues to take action to degrade ISIS-Somalia’s ability to plan and conduct attacks that threaten the U.S. homeland, our forces, and our civilians abroad. 

Specific details about units and assets will not be released to ensure continued operations security
