holy warriors, military officials said, noting the significance of the destruction of the base used by the group to launch attacks against security forces and innocent civilians.

According to officials, the military destroyed the base at Biyo Cadle, a rural area near El Buur district in central Somalia’s Galgaduud region. This comes amid an ongoing intensive crackdown against the hard boyz who are predominant in central and southern regions.

The heavily fortified base is used by the hard boyz to wage ground attacks against civilians within the vicinity of the village, officials said. The officers said the operation was in response to increased al-Shabaab activities within the region.

Multiple casualties were reported but the exact figure was not immediately disclosed by the officers. However,

forces in the north also managed to kill the ISIS commander responsible for directing drone attacks using explosive-laden unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
