The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has launched a high-speed airstrike in Somalia, aimed at stopping the Islamic State (ISIS) group, which the United States says is still moving into the country, according to military sources.<\/p>\n

A U.S. warship, the USS Harry S. Truman, conducted the largest airstrike ever conducted by a warship during a recent operation off the coast of Somalia, Admiral James Kilby, the commander of the U.S. Navy, said.<\/p>\n

The ship dropped an estimated 125,000 pounds of artillery and other military equipment on targets inside Somalia.<\/p>\n

Admiral Kilby spoke at an event at the Robert B. McKeon Center for Global Affairs, which focuses on military strategy and leadership.<\/p>\n

AFRICOM has conducted 25 airstrikes in Somalia, most of which targeted ISIS members, according to an official statement from the command.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the ISIS wing in Somalia has grown significantly, with the number of fighters from about 500 a year and a half ago reaching 1,500, of whom about 60% are foreigners, according to the Stars and Stripes newspaper.<\/p>\n
