The U.S. military carried out a counterterrorism strike Monday against leaders of the militant group Al Shabab in Somalia, Pentagon officials said, although it was unclear whether the operation was successful.
Journalists in reported that suspected U.S. drones fired missiles near the port city of Barawe, a stronghold for Al Shabab.
In a rare acknowledgment of its clandestine military activities in Somalia, the Pentagon said it had conducted a counterterrorism operation there, but gave no details.
“We are assessing the results of the operation and will provide additional information as and when appropriate,” Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said in a statement late Monday.
