The Somali National Armed Forces (SNA) have killed a senior Al-Shabaab leader during a planned special operation, delivering another blow to the militant group’s leadership, according to government officials.<\/p>\n
The operation resulted in the death of Abdisalam Moallim Abukar, whom authorities identified as a senior Al-Shabaab operative responsible for recruiting new fighters and collecting extortion payments from civilians on behalf of the group.<\/p>\n
Officials said another senior Al-Shabaab leader was seriously wounded during the operation, though no further details regarding the individual’s identity or condition were immediately released.<\/p>\n
The Somali military described the raid as an intelligence-driven operation targeting key figures involved in sustaining Al-Shabaab’s operations through recruitment and illegal taxation.<\/p>\n
The latest operation forms part of ongoing military offensives aimed at dismantling the group’s command structure, disrupting its financial networks, and weakening its operational capabilities across Somalia.<\/p>\n
The Federal Government has intensified counterterrorism operations in recent months, targeting senior militant leaders as part of its broader campaign to defeat Al-Shabaab and restore security across the country.<\/p>\n
