HORN OF AFRICA — U.S. Africa Command struck al-Shabaab near Quumbi, Somalia, about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Kismayo on Sept. 8, according to a Sept. 11 release from U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) Public Affairs. AFRICOM said the strike was carried out in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia.

The command withheld units, aircraft, weapons, battle-damage results, and casualty figures, citing operations security.

On Sept. 8 it also announced a Sept. 5 strike near Quumbi, about 47 miles (75 km) north-northwest of Kismayo, and a Sept. 4 strike about 109 miles (175 km) west of Mogadishu.

Each notice uses the same purpose line: action with the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces to reduce al-Shabaab’s ability to threaten U.S. forces and U.S. citizens abroad.
