GOOBJOOG NEWS | MOGADISHU: In a major victory against terrorism, Somali security forces eliminated two senior Al-Shabaab operatives in an airstrike on Wednesday in Jambaluul, Lower Shabelle.

The strike, carried out by the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), targeted high-ranking figures responsible for the group’s deadly operations and financial networks.

According to NISA, the precision airstrike neutralized Farhan Osman Hassan, a key figure behind Al-Shabaab’s explosive attacks in Banadir and Lower Shabelle, and Ahmed Gumaar, the mastermind of the group’s financial operations in the region.

All militant guards protecting the two leaders were also eliminated in the operation.

As Somali forces ramp up their offensive, both NISA and the Somali National Army remain committed to eradicating Al-Shabaab’s remaining strongholds and restoring lasting security in the region.
