Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Declaration on the American command of Africa of strikes in Somalia.
In the direction of President Trump and in coordination with the federal government of Somalia, I authorized the American command of American Africa to carry out coordinated air strikes today targeting Islamic State agents in the mountains of Golis.
Our initial assessment is that several agents have been killed in the air strikes and that no civilian was injured. This action further degrades the Islamic State’s ability to trace and carry out terrorist attacks threatening American citizens, our partners and innocent civilians and sends a clear signal that the United States is always ready to find and eliminate terrorists who threaten the United States and our allies, even if. We carry out robust border protection and many other operations under the direction of President Trump.
