AFRICOM has launched four airstrikes against Al Qaeda's branch in Somalia this month as it continues to provide air support for the Somali National Army.
The United States and the KDF jointly spearheaded the operation.
Since 2007, al-Shabaab has been engaged in conflict with the Somali government and the African Union mission in Somalia.
The operation was led by highly skilled US military commandos who were subsequently extracted safely.
