"It was a successful strike," said Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis, adding U.S. intelligence indicated the group was preparing for a "large scale attack" and posed a threat to U.S. and African Union forces in Somalia.
The al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab was pushed out of Mogadishu by African Union peacekeeping forces in 2011 but has remained a potent antagonist in Somalia, launching frequent attacks in its bid to overthrow the Western-backed government.
