WASHINGTON — The U.S. military has conducted coordinated airstrikes against Islamic State operatives in Somalia, the first attacks in the African nation during President Donald Trump’s second term. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Saturday that the strikes by U.S. Africa Command were directed by Trump and coordinated with Somalia's government.

Donald Trump says he ordered military airstrikes on a senior Islamic State (IS) attack planner and others from the organisation in Somalia. "These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies," Trump posted on social media.
