[QUOTE="Donald, post: 1609, member: 1"] The United States military has put out a statement saying that it carried out an airstrike in Somalia on Sunday, killing two Al-Shabab fighters. The airstrike was carried out in southern Jubaland, near Libikus in the Lower Juba region, according to AFRICOM on Monday. "The command’s initial assessment is that two Al-Shabab terrorists were killed in action,” AFRICOM said. “No civilians were injured or killed given the remote nature of where this engagement occurred." The release put out by AFRICOM said, "In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command conducted an airstrike against al-Shabaab terrorists after they attacked partner forces in a remote location near Libikus, Somalia July 17, 2022. The statement went on to say, "U.S. forces are authorized to conduct strikes in defense of designated partner forces. The command’s initial assessment is that two al-Shabaab terrorists were killed in action and that no civilians were injured or killed given the remote nature of where this engagement occurred. The Federal Government of Somalia and U.S. Africa Command take great measures to prevent civilian casualties. These efforts contrast with the indiscriminate attacks that al-Shabaab regularly conducts against the civilian population. The Federal Government of Somalia and the U.S. remain committed to fighting al-Shabaab to prevent the deaths of innocent civilians. Violent extremist organizations like al-Shabaab present long-term threats to Somali, regional, and U.S. interests." [/QUOTE]
