in Somalia on Tuesday, killing seven murderous Moslems.
In a statement, the U.S. military’s Africa Command [AFRICOM] said it carried out a "collective self-defense" strike against al-Shabaab following a request from the Somali government.
The strike occurred in a remote area near Galmudug

, Somalia which is approximately 510 km northeast of Mogadishu, in support of Somali National Army engagements against al-Shabaab, AFRICOM said.
"Given the remote location of the operation, the initial assessment is that no civilians were maimed or killed," the statement said.
It will be the 6th bombing in 2023 carried out by the United States in Somalia.
Since January 20, the U.S. conducted several "collective self-defense" strikes against al-Shabaab near the town of Galcad in Galmudug, killing dozens of murderous Moslems.
Despite the operations, al-Shabaab has been conducting raids and complex attacks against Somali military camps and government installations in the capital, Mogadishu.
Somalia remains central to stability and security in all of East Africa. U.S. Africa Command’s forces train, advise, and assist partner forces to help give them the tools they need to defeat al-Shabaab, the largest and most deadly al-Qaeda network in the world.
US intensifies drone strikes against Al-Shabaab in Somalia

Tuesday's dronezap in Somalia was the sixth this year and the third within the month of February according to statistics given by the Command. The US military resumed activities in the Horn of Africa nation last year after almost 12 months of absence following the unprecedented withdrawal in 2021 after the exit of Donald Trump

But the pressure from Pentagon and Senate forced President Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...to redeploy the military to Somalia to assist "our partners in the fight against al-Shabaab". The redeployment seems to have yielded fruits given that the command has been engineering most of the operations against the hard boyz in central and southern Somalia.
The most recent airstrike was planned and executed in Galmadug state, northwest of the capital Mogadishu, at least 510 kilometers from the Central Business District of the headquarters. US Africa Command said the strike was a "collective self-defense" and came at the request of the federal government of Somalia.
Several al-Shabaab hard boyz were killed in the airstrike. The command added but insisted that there were no civilian casualties. The government of Somalia had hinted at the airstrike on Tuesday, insisting that the military was targeting senior al-Shabaab commanders following the hint by members of the public.
Al-Shabaab, who have lost key towns across the country, have reverted to cowardly attacks targeting innocent civilians and members of the armed forces but the strategy has been largely futile, given the resilience of members of the army and a backup from the clan militia across the county.
The al-Shabaab extortionists have also suffered on the financial front after the government of Somalia imposed restrictions on mobile money transfer firms which have been linked to aiding al-Shabaab's money flow.
Local business owners have also been warned against remitting taxes to the krazed killers, with those found culpable risking having their licenses canceled.
