The US military conducted an airstrike in Somalia on Tuesday targeting ISIS fighters that had attacked US-backed local forces that were being advised by US troops.
"U.S. Africa Command conducted an airstrike against ISIS-Somalia terrorists after they attacked partner forces in a remote location near Timirshe, Somalia, July 21," the command said in a statement Wednesday, saying that "when this airstrike occurred, U.S. forces were in the area in order to advise and assist Somali and partner forces."
It was not immediately clear whether US personnel were directly involved in the engagement.
Timirshe is located 140 kilometers southeast of Bosasso, Somalia.
