Local Somalian officials confirmed Sunday that an air strike from American forces killed 13 members of the al-Shabab Islamist terrorist group in the country.

The strike took place in the Hiiran region of central Somalia on Sunday and was first reported by state-owned national TV, according to Bloomberg.

This is the second strike against al-Shabab fighters this week, as US Africa Command confirmed that they'd killed four members of the terrorist group on August 9.

No American military or civilian officials have yet to confirm the Sunday strike in Somalia.  

US military forces have been active in the region under President Joe Biden, after former President Donald Trump had ordered a withdrawal.
