In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. forces conducted an airstrike in the Golis Mountain region in Northeast Somalia against al Shabaab militants on July 27, 2019.
The assessment is that one militant was killed in the strike. There were no reports of civilian casualties at this time.
This is part of a coordinated effort between US air force and Somali Security agencies to disrupt Al Shabaab’s destabilizing efforts in Somalia.
