The U.S. military for the first time has conducted two airstrikes against Islamic

State group fighters in Somalia where the group is a growing presence in a country long threatened by the al-Qaida linked extremist group al-shabab. At least six missiles struck in Buqa, a remote mountainous village roughly 60 kilometers north of Quandala town in Somalia's northern state of Puntland. The U.S military this year has carried out well over a dozen drone strikes against al-Shabab extremist after the Trump administration approved expanded efforts against the group. A report by United Nations experts monitoring sanctions against the Islamic State group noted in a report circulated in August the "terrorist threat" posed by its affiliates in Puntland.
