Puntland Defence Forces pursue Daesh terrorists in the Calmiskaad mountain range hideouts. Boosaaso (PP Editorial) — Puntland State of Somalia is carrying out the final stage of counterterrorism operations in Calmiskaad. For more than nine months, the Puntland State Defence Forces have been fighting Daesh terrorists that established hideouts in the mountainous areas. It is true that Puntland State is wary of allowing for the deployment of the Somali National Army in districts under its jurisdiction. This policy has weeded out phantom soldiers who were on the payroll of Puntland State of Somalia.
