At the request of the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command conducted an airstrike against al-Shabaab terrorists who were attacking Somali National Army forces near Buulobarde, Somalia, on Sept. 18, 2022.

The command’s initial assessment is that the strike killed 27 al-Shabaab terrorists and that no civilians were injured.  U.S. forces are authorized to conduct strikes in defense of designated partner forces.  The defensive strikes allowed the Somali National Army and African Union Transition Mission in Somalia forces to regain the initiative and continue the operation to disrupt al-Shabaab in the Hiraan region of central Somalia. This operation is the largest combined Somali and ATMIS offensive operation in five years.

U.S. Africa Command take great measures to prevent civilian casualties. These efforts contrast with the indiscriminate attacks that al-Shabaab regularly conducts against the civilian population.

Violent extremist organizations like al-Shabaab present long-term threats to Somali, regional and U.S. interests. The U.S. will continue to support Somali and ATMIS partners in defeating al-Shabaab terrorists who threaten the peace and stability of Somalia.

À la demande du Gouvernement fédéral de la Somalie, le commandement américaine pour l’Afrique a mené une frappe aérienne contre des terroristes d’al-Shabaab qui attaquaient les forces de l’Armée nationale somaliennes près de Buulobarde, en Somalie, le 18 septembre. L’évaluation initiale du commandement est que la frappe aérienne a tué 27 terroristes d’alShabaab et qu’aucun civil n’a été blessé. Les forces américaines sont autorisées à effectuer des frappes aériennes pour défendre les forces des partenaires désignées. Les frappes aériennes défensives ont permis à l’Armée nationale somaliennes aux forces de la Mission de transition de l’Union africaine en somalie (Atmis) de regagner l’initiative et de poursuivre l’opération pour perturber Al-Shabaab dans la région d’Hiraan, dans le centre de la Somalie. Cette opération est la plus grande opération offensive conjointe somalienne et d’Atmis en cinq ans. Le commandement américaine pour l’Afrique prend de grandes mesures pour prévenir les victimes civiles. Ces efforts contrastent avec les attaques aveugles que l’al-Shabaab mène régulièrement contre la population civile.

Statement Regarding Precision Strikes in Syria
USCENTCOM
Attributable to Colonel Joe Buccino, USCENTCOM Communication Director:

TAMPA, Fla. – “At President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted precision airstrikes in Deir ez-Zor Syria today. These precision strikes are intended to defend and protect U.S. forces from attacks like the ones on August 15 against U.S. personnel by Iran-backed groups. The U.S. strikes targeted infrastructure facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“Today’s strikes were necessary to protect and defend U.S. personnel. The United States took proportionate, deliberate action intended to limit the risk of escalation and minimize the risk of casualties.

“The President gave the direction for these strikes pursuant to his Article II authority to protect and defend U.S. personnel by disrupting or deterring attacks by Iran-backed groups.

“The United States does not seek conflict, but will continue to take necessary measures to protect and defend our people.

“U.S. forces remain in Syria to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS.”
