Mogadishu: About 60 al-Shabaab militants are dead after an airstrike in north-central Somalia, the US said in a statement Tuesday. It is the largest toll from a strike this year.
"This precision airstrike was conducted in support of the federal government of Somalia as it continues to degrade al-Shabaab," said a report in QNA quoting US-Africa Command.
