An officer named Jiib Gurey Butaan, who was one of the officers of the Puntland army in the war in the Calmisaad mountains, died in a mine explosion.
This officer was released on social media 24 hours ago saying that he had caught a drone with explosives in his hand. The President of Puntland Saeed Deni praised this officer for his bravery a few days ago.
This officer is said to have woken up with a mine buried in the ground and he tried to take it out. It is said that he was one of the most active officers in charge of mine removal for the Puntland forces in the war against Daesh.
However, Puntland has lost officers and hundreds of soldiers in the war against Daesh, which started in December last year.
Last night, 5 soldiers were injured in 7 explosions carried out by drones, which the Daesh group checked with the Puntland forces in Toga Yakar.
It was two days ago when 5 soldiers died in a mine explosion that happened to an army vehicle they were traveling with.
