US Drone Air Strikes kill more than 30 Al-Shabaab Terrorists In Somalia, no civilians harmed

The US strike was carried out in Somalia that killed at least 30 al-Shabaab fighters on Friday, said US Africa Command in a statement released on January 20.

The strikes conducted by the US troops are seen as a "collective self-defense strike” in support of Somalia National Army forces.

These strikes came after the Somalian National Army was attacked by more than 100 al-Shabaab fighters, said the statement, referring to the terror group linked to al Qaeda.

The targeted area was about 260 kilometers northeast of the Somalian capital of Mogadishu, near Galcad.

During the strike, no US military official was present on the ground when the US air raid took place, informed the US defense official.

Also, US Africa Command confirmed no civilians have been harmed or killed due to the remote location.
