Those killed in the explosion, as confirmed by military officers we contacted, include the Logistics Commander of the Dayax Unit, Jaamac Maxamed Caduur (Afdhishiike), along with the vehicle’s mine-clearance operator and the driver, according to security sources.

The explosion happened while the forces were conducting a security operation. Medical and military emergency teams were immediately dispatched to the scene, and the injured soldiers were rushed to hospitals in Bosaso.

Additional troops were deployed to the area to tighten security and to launch an investigation into the type of explosion and those responsible. The Bosaso–Dhaadaar New Road was temporarily closed while operations were ongoing.

Puntland security officials have not yet commented on who was behind the attack, but said that an official statement will be released once the investigation is completed.

The incident comes shortly after Puntland withdrew most of its forces from the Calmiskaad mountain range in Bari region, where a nearly year-long operation against the ISIS group had been underway.

Security agencies stated that ISIS’s capabilities in Calmiskaad have been significantly weakened, noting that only small, scattered remnants remain, hiding in the Baallade valley. Mobile units have been assigned to track down the remaining elements of the group.

A number of employees, who have been voicing serious complaints against the company’s senior management, staged a protest today at the main entrance of the airport. They also carried out a work stoppage in an effort to draw attention to their grievances.

Speaking to the media, the workers accused the airport management company of illegally deducting salaries and committing other abuses.

“A person who has worked for 30 days still has not received their salary as of today, the 18th of the month. Today we have lost everything, as Somali workers are being dismissed from their positions and replaced with Kenyans, Ugandans, and Turks, while Somali citizens are left unemployed,” said Nasro, one of the employees at Aden Adde Airport.

She also sent a message to the Somali government, particularly the President, calling on him to intervene in their situation.

“We are urgently appealing, loudly and clearly, for the rights that these workers are entitled to in their own country—rights that have been violated—to be restored,” Nasro added.

Complaints from Somali employees at Aden Adde International Airport have been recurring for some time. The workers repeatedly raise concerns about Favori, yet no visible action has been taken to address their grievances.

Recently, during a visit to the airport, the Prime Minister summoned the leadership of Favori and discussed ways to resolve the ongoing complaints at the airport, as well as to improve services that are reportedly lacking in some areas.
