According to a story on CNN International, "The United States on Monday used precision missiles to strike a 'known terrorist target' in southern Somalia, 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 U.S. has still not reported any casualties, but 3 women and 3 children are among the dead according to Dhoobley's District Commissioner Ali Nur Ali Dherr who spoke with CNN.

No word yet, either, on whether the target the U.S. was aiming for was among the 20 other injuries reported by Dherr.
This is certainly something to watch.
