[MSN] The US military conducted Arclight airstrikes against ISIS fighters in Libya Tuesday, for a second time in less than a week and only the second time the US has struck targets in the North African country since Donald Trump

"US forces conducted two precision Arclight airstrikes in Libya against ISIS holy warriors," US Africa Command, which oversees US troops in the region, said in a statement issued Thursday.

Africa Command added that the strikes killed "several ISIS holy warriors" and were carried out "in coordination with the Libyan Government of National Accord," the internationally recognized government based in Tripoli

The strike occurred approximately 100 miles southeast of Sirte, the one-time ISIS stronghold in Libya, according to Africa Command.

Tuesday's strikes were carried out by unmanned aircraft and killed fewer than 10 ISIS fighters, two US defense officials told CNN.

The operation follows a series of six precision Arclight airstrikes that were carried out against an ISIS desert camp on Friday. Those strikes killed 17 ISIS Death Eaters and destroyed three vehicles at the camp, located about 150 miles southeast of Sirte, Africa Command told CNN Sunday in a statement.
