The United States military for the second straight day is announcing a drone strike that killed al-Shabaab extremists in Somalia.
The US Africa Command says the strike on Wednesday killed four “terrorists” near Jamaame in Lower Juba region in the south. The statement says the US assesses no civilians were killed.
The US on Wednesday said a drone strike killed three al-Shabaab extremists near Jilib town in Middle Juba region earlier this week.
This latest US drone strike is the fifth this year in Somalia.
The US carried out more than 30 drone strikes last year in the Horn of Africa nation after President Donald Trump approved expanded military efforts against al-Shabaab.
The extremist group is blamed for the October truck bombing in the capital, Mogadishu, that killed 512 people.
