In Somalia, officials say a U.S. airstrike has mistakenly killed more than 20 Somali soldiers. The security minister of Somalia’s Galmudug region says the U.S. strikes were requested by officials in a rival region, who told the U.S. the strikes were targeting al-Shabab militants. The Pentagon says it’s investigating the incident, but has claimed at least nine al-Shabab fighters were killed in the strike.
