Three militants killed in New Year’s Day airstrikes on al-Shabaab compounds in Somalia
Three al-Shabaab militants are believed to have been killed in Somalia on Friday by airstrikes from U.S. Africa Command, according to a press release.
Two airstrikes conducted by AFRICOM, in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, hit al-Shabaab compounds near the town of Qunyo Barrow, Somalia, an AFRICOM press release says. AFRICOM’s “initial assessment†is that three militants were killed and one was injured during the airstrikes, and that no civilians were killed or injured.
Six compound buildings were destroyed, the release says, and one was damaged.
