US, Somalia carry out airstrike against militants as battle rages for key town

Apr 18, 2025

Mogadishu [Somalia], April 18: The US and Somalia have carried out an airstrike against Islamist militants during a battle for control of a strategic central town, the government says.
The "well-coordinated" strike on Adan Yabaal, north of the capital Mogadishu, came hours after al-Shabab raided the town which is used as a key launchpad for military operations.
Among the 12 militants killed in the airstrike were several senior fighters from the al-Qaeda-linked group, the Somali information ministry said in a statement on X. The latest fighting comes amid fears of a jihadist resurgence in Somalia after growing militant attacks, including one that targeted President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's convoy last month.
