On March 19, a drone strike outside Mogadishu reportedly killed more than 20 people, including children. Citing two security sources, the Washington Post reported that “the strike was carried out by a Turkish drone,” adding, “Turkey routinely carries out drone strikes in Somalia in support of Somali government forces.” United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), which is responsible for U.S. military strikes in Somalia, told me and other media sources that the U.S. did not carry out the strike.
