Authorities also discovered two mass graves in Sheebaab, believed to contain the remains of ISIS fighters killed in previous airstrikes targeting holy warrior positions in the Calmiskaad mountains. These strikes were reportedly carried out by U.S. and UAE forces.
Puntland troops continue their operations in the area, successfully clearing ISIS Death Eaters from these vital regions and striving to maintain security in the face of ongoing threats from the terror group.
Puntland state has hailed international partners for the role they played in the success of the operations against ISIS holy warriors.
The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) said a Feb. 1 airstrike it carried out against ISIS killed 14 terrorists, including a big shot.
The strike targeted senior ISIS leadership in a series of cave complexes approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of the port city of Bosaso, the capital of the northeastern Bari region.
Among those killed was Ahmed Maeleninine, a key ISIS recruiter, financier, and external operations leader "responsible for the deployment of gunnies into the United States and across Europe."
