US Africa  Command has confirmed to have conducted an airstrike in support of the Federal Government of Somalia’s ongoing operations against the Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Shabaab. The airstrike was conducted as a collective self-defense offensive against Al-Shabaab terrorists who were attacking Somali National Army (SNA) troops in the general vicinity of Cadaley, Middle Shabelle region of Somalia.

U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) confirmed that the precision airstrike killed 15 attacking Al-Shabaab fighters underscoring that no civilians were killed or injured in this operation.TheU.S. airstrike is one in a series of such attacks in recent months aimed at disrupting the Islamist terrorist group that has spiked up attacks from across regions of Somalia. In the last week of October, AFRICOM conducted a precision strike near Buulobarde, Hiran region of central Somalia killing at least two terror operatives. In September, a U.S. airstrike killed more 27 Al-Shabaab terrorists in the same region of Somalia. The strike took place in the same region, near Buulobarde of Hiran region, central Somalia that of late has witnessed surge in terrorist attacks. In August, the U.S. also launched a series of airstrikes on Al-Shabaab positions in Somalia, killing an estimated 13 militants, according to AFRICOM.

U.S. Africa Command, alongside its partners, such as ATMIS continues to take action to prevent this malicious terrorist group from planning and conducting attacks on civilians in the war-torn Somalia. US airstrikes are very instrumental in disrupting the Al-Shabaab’s networks, plans and movements from across regions of Somalia.
