Khatumo State (Somali: Khaatumo), officially known as the SSC-Khaatumo Administration (Somali: Maamulka SSC-Khaatumo), is an autonomous administration[1] in Northern Somalia, with its capital in Las Anod.[2] It includes parts of the Sool, Sanaag, and Cayn regions (combined under the acronym "SSC"). It is bordered by Puntland to the east, the Somali Region of Ethiopia to the south, Somaliland to the west, and the Red Sea to the north.

Following the capture of several army positions near Las Anod in August 2023, Khatumo forces effectively expelled Somaliland troops from Dhulbahante territory, securing most of their claimed area and establishing a new front line between the villages of Oog and Guumays in western Sool.[3][4]

SSC-Khaatumo was acknowledged as an interim administration by the Federal Government of Somalia on October 19, 2023,[5] following its re-establishment on February 6, 2023, as SSC-Khaatumo after a period of mass civil unrest in Las Anod.[2]
