Eight al Shabaab militants have been killed in an operation that was carried out on December 15.
The strike against the militants about 30 miles northwest of Kismayo also destroyed a vehicle, US Africa Command said in a statement on Monday.
"US forces conducted airstrikes against al shabaab militants in the early evening hours and
no civilians were killed in the strike," it read.
On November 22, the US military said it killed more than 100 Islamist militants in
Somalia when it launched an air strike against al Shabaab.
The Command said the strike was carried out on a camp 125 miles (201 km) northwest of Mogadishu and that the US would continue to target militants.

The group allied to al Qaeda, is waging an insurgency against the UN-backed government and its African Union allies in a bid to topple the weak administration.
The militants were driven out of Mogadishu in 2011 and have since been steadily losing territory to the combined forces of African Union peacekeepers and Somali security forces.
