In a statement, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the airstrikes were undertaken in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia and targeted ISIS-Somalia operatives in the Golis mountains.

The United States used fighter jets to conduct an airstrike against Islamic State targets in Somalia on Saturday, according to U.S. officials.

A senior commander of the Islamic State's Somalia wing was captured on Monday, according to police and state media. The arrest comes just two days after U.S. airstrikes targeted the leadership of ISIS in the region,
