The US military says it has killed four al-Shabaab extremists in Somalia in what it calls airstrikes in self-defence.
A US Africa Command statement on Tuesday says the extremists launched attacks on Somali troops and their US advisers on Monday in a village near the port city of Kismayo.
The statement says Somali forces returned fire, killing several extremists, but the attack continued. The US then conducted its strike, killing four fighters.
