Puntland Dervish forces in Somalia have successfully dismantled several Islamic State bases in the Cal-Miskaad mountains, uncovering supply depots, fuel storage facilities, and explosive manufacturing sites. During these operations, troops discovered a Saudi passport and international bank cards linked to terrorists. Despite these achievements, Puntland officials have expressed dissatisfaction with the federal government's support, labeling it as 'symbolic and insufficient' in the fight against ISIS. In a recent publication, Islamic State claimed that its Somali affiliate killed 15 Puntland soldiers, while denying reports of 20 jihadists being killed by Puntland forces. Additionally, Puntland has issued a new directive aimed at strengthening security amid ongoing anti-ISIS operations, as the Somali Prime Minister has called for unity in the broader fight against both ISIS and Al-Shabaab.
