BOSASO, Somalia: A US airstrike killed three Daesh militants in the Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland region on Friday, a US military official said, two weeks after the group’s deputy leader was killed in a strike.
A witness said missiles struck two wells on the outskirts of Timirshe village, some 60km southeast of Puntland’s commercial capital Bosaso. The US military has sharply stepped up its campaign of airstrikes in Somalia since President Donald Trump took office, saying it has killed more than 800 militants in two years.
