Puntland Defense Forces Integrate New Troops for Al-Miskaad Mountain Security Operations
The Puntland Defense Forces have integrated new Dervish units to operate in the Al-Miskaad mountains, recently cleared of ISIS militants. A formal presentation of these forces occurred in Dhaadaar, where they were inducted into Puntland's national security structure and will receive salaries through the military payroll system.
The units will be deployed to maintain security in the region and prevent ISIS from re-establishing a presence. This initiative is part of Puntland's broader security strategy following successful military operations against ISIS in the area. Additionally, forces deployed in the Al-Miskaad operations have been reassigned to the Cawsane area for Operation Thunder, aimed at stabilizing strategic locations and suppressing militant activity.
