One airstrike against al-Shabaab came as a defensive measure after the terror group’s fighters engaged U.S. and Somali government forces near Kobon, Somalia on Thursday, according to a press statement U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) provided to American Military News.

AFRICOM supported partner forces with an airstrike that killed 10 al-Shabaab terrorists.

Another airstrike on Friday also targeted members of the group near the town of Jilib, and resulted in the death of one more al-Shabaab fighter.
