The United States launched an air strike in Somalia Monday targeting terror suspects, said reports.
A U.S. military official, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said the strike was "a deliberate, precise strike against a known terrorist and his associates."
Somali police said three missiles hit a town held by extremists, injuring eight people and destroying a home, said reports.
Monday's strikes were the first American incursions in Somalia in more than a year.
The U.S. carried out two air strikes in Somalia in January 2007, sending heavily armed AC-130 gunships into the country.
Those strikes were believed to be the first American incursions into Somalia since U.S. forces were bloodied in what became known as the Black Hawk Down incident in 1993.
Photos of angry Somalis dragging the body of a soldier through the streets sparked international outrage and prompted the U.S. to bring its troops home.
