The United States attacked a "known terrorist target" with precision missiles in southern Somalia on Monday, a U.S. military official said.
The strike near Dhoobley, which is close to the Kenyan border, was aimed at a "facility where there were known terrorists" affiliated with East African al Qaeda operations, according to the official.
The strike destroyed two houses -- killing three women and three children, and wounding another 20 people -- Dhoobley's District Commissioner Ali Nur Ali Dherre told CNN. Dherre said the remains of the missiles were marked "US K."
The U.S. military official said the United States is still collecting post-strike information and is not yet able to confirm any casualties.
He described Monday's strike as "very deliberate" and said forces tried to use caution to avoid hitting civilians.
Villagers have fled in fear of another strike, Dherre said.
How can anybody support the war or our current administration when shit like this happens so often??? This is absolutely appalling. clearly those women and children were "known terrorists". This is why I have no problem with Michelle Obama saying that she isn't proud to be an american, and hasn't been for nearly 8 years now. Who can be proud of being a part of a country that acts like this???
