The U.S. military said on Tuesday it had killed one militant in an air strike in southern Somalia over the weekend during a battle pitting U.S. and Somali government troops against al Shabaab Islamist fighters.


The U.S. militaryโ€™s Africa Command (Africom) said the strike had been carried out on Oct. 6 in the vicinity of Kunyo Barrow, which is north of the town of Kismayo.

โ€œWe currently assess no civilians were injured or killed in this air strike,โ€ Africomโ€™s statement read.

An Africom airstrike on Oct. 1, also near Kismayo in southern Somalia, killed nine militants.
