According to a statement released by the Ministry of Information, the targeted leaders included Olol Ali Guled, a notorious figure who served as the head of Al-Shabaab in Galmudug state.

The Somali government’s commitment to eradicating Al-Shabab was further demonstrated by the successful elimination of two other wanted Al-Shabaab fighters. These individuals, whose identities have not been disclosed, were considered high-priority targets due to their involvement in numerous heinous acts of violence.
The Ministry of Information commended the expertise exhibited by the Somali army during the operation.
The ministry said somali government will continue to intensify its counterterrorism efforts, leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice and peace.
