A U.S. airstrike killed a senior leader of the extremist rebels of the Islamic State in Somalia group, officials said.

A U.S. Africa Command statement said the attack occurred in the Hiran region, where the earlier airstrikes took place.

The airstrike was carried out near an extremist camp near Shebeeley in the Hiran region north of the capital, Mogadishu.

The U.S. military says it has carried out two new airstrikes in Somalia against the al-Shabab extremist group.

The airstrike was in response to an attack against Somali forces by a "large group" of al-Shabab extremists.

The U.S. military says it has killed 11 al-Shabab extremists with a pair of airstrikes outside Somalia's capital.

The strikes were carried out in close coordination with Somalia's government and were "conducted to thwart al-Shabab.

The rivalry supports observers' suspicions that al-Shabab is drifting from its goal of establishing a strict Islamic state.
