Two sets of US airstrikes in Haradheere, Amara kill more than 2 Shaboobs

US military kills two Al-Shabaab members in new airstrike
[ShabelleMedia] At the request of the Federal Government of Somalia and in support of Somali National Army engagements
...every such report seems to start this way nowadays... against al-Shabaab
 ...... the personification of Somali state failure...
, the U.S. Africa Command conducted a collective self-defense strike on Jan. 23, 2023.
The strike occurred in a remote area near Xaradheere, Somalia,
...alternate spelling Harardhere... approximately 396 km northeast of Mogadishu where Somali forces were conducting operations.
The initial assessment is the strike killed two al-Shabaab terrorists.
Given the remote location of the operation, the initial assessment is that no civilians were maimed or killed.
A 2nd airstrike reported in central Somalia within two days
[ShabelleMedia] A military official says a second Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
happened around Amara town in central Somalia, targeting al-Shabaab
...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them...
amid SNA ground operations in the country.
The commander who spoke to Radio Shabelle on condition of anonymity said the airstrike inflicted casualties on al-Shabaab but he could not say the exact number of the fatalities.
That sounds like more than one. Remember to round up the total number of ears to the next even number, guys, then divide by two. After the overnight raid, al-Shabaab ordered a local telecom company to switch off the phone network to avert further airstrikes from the foreign warplanes, believed to be from the US.
The strike comes as Somali troops and local clan militia are jointly battling against al-Shabaab in the Mudug region, where they managed to retake Harardhere at Indian Ocean cost.
Al-Shabaab despite losing major ground, continued to carry out lethal attacks, mainly boom-mobileing and sieges in Mogadishu in response to the military offensive.
