Eight people are said to have died in the strikes, all of whom the U.S. government identified as terrorists known to play important roles in producing explosives for al-Shabab, to include vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices known to target civilians.
AFRICOM said its current assessment is that no civilians were hurt or killed. We will continue to apply pressure to the al-Shabaab network. They continue to undermine Somali security, and need to be contained and degraded, U.S. Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander of U.S. Africa Command, said in a press release.
