US air strikes in Somalia killed an estimated 37 fighters from the militant Islamist group Al-Shabaab, the US military said Tuesday.

The two air strikes were carried out Monday near Debatscile, the military's Africa command said in a statement, adding that the "air strikes did not injure or kill any civilians."
The US military said the strikes were "conducted in support of the Federal Government of Somalia as it continues to degrade Al-Shabaab."
