US Africa Command announced on Saturday that its forces launched two more airstrikes in Somalia as the Trump administration continues to bomb the country at a record pace, an air campaign with virtually no media coverage of the conflict in the US.
AFRICOM said that one of the strikes was launched on June 14 and targeted al-Shabaab northwest of Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu. The command said the other strike was launched on June 15 in Somalia’s northeastern Puntland region and targeted the ISIS affiliate in the area.
AFRICOM offered no other details about the airstrikes as it has stopped sharing figures on casualties and assessments of civilian harm. “Specific details about units and assets will not be released to ensure continued operations security,” the command said in both press releases.
