The US Africa Command (AFRICOM) announced that it carried out an airstrike in southern Somalia, killing 13 Al-Shabaab militants.
The AFRICOM said in a press release on Sunday that the raid, which was carried out in support of Somali forces, took place on August 26 in the vicinity of Sierra, Somalia, about 45 kilometers northwest of the city of Kismayo.
The statement issued by AFRICOM added that the initial assessment of the strike indicates that there were no casualties or deaths among civilians.
The United States of America considers the Somali militant Islamist movement, which merged with Al-Qaeda in February 2012, to be the largest and most active network of the organization in the world.
