leader Mohamed Mire, also known as Abu Abdirahman, has been confirmed dead following a targeted dronezap in the Lower Shabelle region of Somalia. The attack took place near Kunyo Barow, where Mire was reportedly killed while holding a meeting.
Mire, who had been with al-Shabaab for over 15 years, was a key figure within the organization, previously serving as the governor of the Hiraan region and a member of the Shura Council. More recently, he held the position of head of regions (Wilayaat), a role central to the group’s administrative and strategic operations.

Security Council in 2022 underscored his importance to al-Shabaab’s leadership.
The strike was carried out by U.S. forces in collaboration with Somali national forces and international security partners, showcasing ongoing efforts to dismantle the bad boy group’s command structure. al-Shabaab itself has acknowledged Mire’s death, marking it as a significant event within its ranks.
