- The American military has killed 17 al-Shabaab terrorists in Somalia over the past week — three months after President Biden reversed President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw US forces from the east African nation.
- Thirteen al-Shabaab fighters were killed in a Sunday airstrike while “actively attacking Somali National Army forces in a remote location” near Teedaan in central Somalia, US Africa Command said in a statement Wednesday.
- That strike came four days after US forces launched three airstrikes that killed four al-Shabaab members who had attacked Somali forces on Aug. 9.
