Mogadishu, October 4, 2025 – In a significant development in the fight against terrorism, the Somali National Army (SNA), in coordination with Ugandan Defense Forces under the AUSOM mission, launched a joint military operation early this morning in the Awdheegle district of the Lower Shabelle region.
The operation, codenamed “Silent Storm,” is aimed at clearing the area of Al-Shabaab militants who have been using the region as a hideout. According to the Somali Ministry of Defence, this is a well-planned offensive intended to liberate strategic locations and disrupt the activities of the extremist group.
Military sources confirm that troops have made advances into key parts of Awdheegle, but the operation is still ongoing. Authorities have promised to release official details once the mission is concluded.
The Ministry emphasized that updates will be provided in due course and urged the public to remain patient and vigilant as security forces continue their efforts to stabilize the region.
