"This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia," Trump said on Truth Social, adding that "many terrorists" were killed as a result.

"The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians," Trump posted on social media.
