     Puntland and Galmudug Forces Foil Al-Shabaab Militia Attack in Gaalkacyo

    In a coordinated effort, security forces from Puntland and Galmudug successfully intercepted and neutralized an Al-Shabaab militia attack on Gaalkacyo, a key city in the Mudug region. According to local authorities, the militants attempted to infiltrate the city from its outskirts under the cover of darkness, aiming to disrupt peace and target civilian and government infrastructure. However, the two regional forces’ joint intelligence and swift action thwarted their plans. The combined forces engaged the militants in a fierce firefight, resulting in the elimination of several Al-Shabaab fighters while others fled into the surrounding terrain.

    The Puntland and Galmudug administrations commended their security forces for their vigilance and dedication to protecting the city. Residents of Gaalkacyo expressed relief at the prompt response, which averted potential loss of life and destruction. The incident highlights the growing collaboration between the two regions in addressing the shared threat posed by Al-Shabaab. Authorities have launched a follow-up operation in the area to ensure the militants are fully cleared, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining security and stability in the region.
