Islamic State (IS) activity has been observed across multiple regions, with notable operations in Africa, Syria, and South Asia. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, IS-linked Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) militants killed at least 38 people in an attack on a Catholic church in Komanda, demonstrating the group’s continued targeting of religious sites and civilians [3]. In Syria, IS cells conducted multiple attacks against Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), including three coordinated assaults in Deir ez-Zor province, while US-led forces killed a senior IS leader in Aleppo [5]. Meanwhile, counterterrorism operations in Somalia resulted in the capture of a high-ranking IS-Somalia finance chief, highlighting ongoing efforts to disrupt the group’s financial networks and leadership structure [7].
