U.S. Airstrike Targets al Shabaab in Somalia
At the request of the Somali government, U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) carried out an airstrike against al Shabaab on March 15, 2025, approximately 150 kilometers northeast of Mogadishu. The strike eliminated enemy combatants without civilian casualties.
This marks the latest in a series of operations aimed at weakening al Shabaab, following similar strikes on March 1 and February 25. U.S. forces also targeted ISIS-Somalia in late February.
Al Shabaab remains a major threat in East Africa, and AFRICOM continues to support Somali forces in their fight against the extremist group. Further details on military assets used in the operation remain classified.
