The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) coordinated with the Somalia government on Feb. 23 to carry out its seventh airstrike this month against al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda affiliate, the U.S. military said.
In a joint operation, an al-Shabaab compound in the vicinity of Dujuuma, Somalia, was targeted on Sunday, wounding three militants, according to a U.S. assessment. The strike came a day after a strike on a compound near Saakow, Somalia, killed two and wounded one, and four days after three people were killed during a strike near Wadajir, Somalia.
