Pentagon spokesperson Rear Adm. John Kirby confirmed the operation, but did not provide many specific details. Kirby said that the U.S. was still “assessing the results of the operation and will provide additional information as and when appropriate.”
BBC News reports that the American operation came shortly after al-Shabaab militants allegedly attacked a Mogadishu detention center, hoping to free detained militants.
