Pentagon officials Wednesday said about a dozen suspected members of al-Shabaab terrorist movement were killed in US airstrikes against an as-yet-undisclosed target in southern Somalia over the course of Monday and Tuesday.

Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis said the targeted militants “posed an imminent threat” to US ground troops positioned in the area around the Somali city of Kismayo “assisting” the Somali government.
