US President Donald Trump ordered, on Saturday, to launch "accurate military air strikes" in Somalia, according to his appearance on social media, to be the first air strikes in his second term.

Trump added: “The caves in which they lived were destroyed, and many terrorists were killed without harming civilians in any way. We targeted our army ... ISIS for years, but Biden and his companions did not act quickly to accomplish the mission. I did! The message to ISIS. And all others who may attack Americans are "we will find you and kill you."

The White House did not comment on Trump's social media publication, and one of the White House officials said that the Ministry of Defense would provide additional details when that was "appropriate".
