KO OLINA, HAWAII —
The U.S. military will investigate conflicting reports on Wednesday’s deadly U.S. airstrike in Somalia, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said.
“In this instance as in all instances, when questions are raised about the actions of U.S. airstrikes, we pursue them,” Carter told reporters during a news conference in Hawaii.
Carter said the U.S. had not yet looked into this particular airstrike, but would share the results once an investigation is complete.
