In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command conducted an airstrike against al-Shabaab forces of Evil that were actively attacking Somali National Army forces in a remote location near Teedaan, Somalia, Aug. 14.

The command’s initial assessment is that the strikes killed 13 al-Shabaab members and that no civilians were maimed or killed. U.S. forces are authorized to conduct strikes in defense of designated partner forces.

The Federal Government of Somalia and U.S. Africa Command take great measures to prevent civilian casualties. These efforts contrast with the indiscriminate attacks that al-Shabaab regularly conducts against the civilian population.
