US Launches at Least Four More Airstrikes in Somalia as Record-Shattering Bombing Campaign Continues
• AntiWarUS Africa Command has announced at least four more airstrikes in Somalia as the Trump administration continues to bomb the country at a record pace with virtually no media coverage in the United States.
AFRICOM said in one press release that its forces launched airstrikes against the ISIS affiliate in Somalia's northeast Puntland region on December 15 and December 16. It said the attacks were launched about 43 miles to the southeast of the Gulf of Aden port city of Bosaso, where the US has been backing local Puntland forces in a fight against ISIS militants based in caves.
The command provided no additional details and has stopped sharing information on casualties or assessments of potential civilian harm since earlier this year. US-backed Puntland forces haven't issued any statements on military operations in recent days. The Puntland Counterterrorism Operations Telegram account occasionally releases images of the dead bodies of alleged ISIS fighters who were killed in US-backed operations.
