AU.S. military strike in Somalia took out a senior leader of the Islamic State terror group, along with 10 more of the organization's militants, the Biden administration announced.
U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) announced the strike on Thursday, asserting there were no civilian casualties.
>>"Given the remote location of the operation, the assessment is that no civilians were injured or killed. Protecting civilians remains a vital part of the command's operations to promote greater security for all Africans," Africom stated.
The strike occurred Wednesday evening on the orders of President Joe Biden, following recommendations from both Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, NBC News reported.
