Marking one year since the launch of Operation Hilaac, the police chief stated that the campaign has eliminated the group’s main fighters, cutting ISIS’s military capacity by nearly 85 percent.

He added that weapons stockpiles, supply depots, and facilities used to produce explosives and plan attacks were also destroyed.

General Shire stated that ISIS’s most dangerous technological and chemical center, which housed foreign experts specializing in technical attacks, was completely destroyed.

He commended Puntland’s efforts to combat terrorism, noting that allied countries provided essential technological and intelligence support that contributed to the operation’s success.

The police chief added that the ongoing operations have significantly weakened ISIS, diminishing its capacity to terrorize the local population.

Launched in late 2024, Operation Hilaac is Puntland’s major counterterrorism campaign targeting ISIS and al-Shabaab fighters entrenched in the rugged Cal-Miskaad mountains and throughout the broader Bari region.
