US airstrike in Somalia kills 13 militants, DoD says

A U.S. airstrike killed an estimated 13 al-Shabab militants in Somalia on Sunday, according to a U.S. Africa Command news release Wednesday.

The airstrike is the seventh such attack against the Islamic militant group confirmed by AFRICOM in 2022. All but one of this year’s strikes have been launched since May, when President Joe Biden authorized the military to deploy hundreds of special operations forces to Somalia.

Biden’s order reversed former former President Donald Trump’s late-presidency withdrawal of the counterinsurgency forces that had been stationed in the country for more than a decade.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

I can hear Ilan Omar bitching about her countrymen being ruthlessly slaughtered by the US Military already. *look*
