DW: US airstrike kills 35 al-Shabab fighters in Somalia
"Precision strikes" have killed 35 al-Shabab fighters as the group was attempting to "mass their forces" in Somalia, the US military has said. The group had recently claimed responsibility for a car bomb in Mogadishu.
The US Africa Command estimated 35 al-Shabab "terrorists" were killed in an aerial bombing targeting the jihadi group in Somalia's central Hiran region.
"In the case of this strike, we interrupted an al-Shabab attempt to mass their forces," the US military said in a statement on Monday, a day after the attack.
"Precision strikes eliminated a potential threat to our partners and to the people of Somalia well before the terrorists ever got themselves organized," the statement added.
