Puntland is preparing for a military operation to clear the mountains of Almikaad in the Bari region from the Daesh group, which has spread strongly in those areas.
Thousands of soldiers of the Puntland army, who are armed with military vehicles and weapons, are reported to be in the far eastern areas of the Bari region.
Senior officials of the army spoke to the army there, urging them to prepare for major operations to chase the Daesh group.
The President of Puntland, Said Abdullahi Deni, who has been in the Bari region for weeks, is leading the plan and activities against the Daesh group.
President Deni recently said that the Daesh group is a great threat to the security of Puntland, he reiterated how important it is to end the threat posed by terrorist groups to the security of Puntland.
American intelligence has recently expressed strong concern about the increase in foreign fighters of Daesh flowing into the mountains of the eastern region of Puntland, saying that there is a need to prevent them.
