Background

The Sool, Sanaag, and Cayn regions have been the subject of disputes between Somaliland and Puntland for years.

On 18 July, hostilities erupted when Puntland and Somaliland forces confronted each other near Booda-Cadde.

The battle left five soldiers dead, with Puntland suffering multiple casualties and Somaliland losing two high-ranking officers. Despite the casualties, Somaliland forces successfully captured a key political figure from Puntland. The conflict further intensified the long-standing territorial disputes between the two regions.
