A US drone strike has killed more than 150 al-Shebab militants in Somalia, the Pentagon says.
Spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said the strike hit a training camp where a "large-scale" attack was being planned.
"We know they were going to be departing the camp and they posed an imminent threat to US and [African Union] forces," Captain Davis said.
"Initial assessments are that more than 150 terrorist fighters were eliminated," he added.
Captain Davis said the strike, on Saturday, targeted a camp about 120 miles (195km) north of the capital, Mogadishu.
