This was stated by representatives of the US administration, writes Ukrinform. 

"Last night, on the order of the president, the US military conducted an operation in northern Somalia, as a result of which Bilal al-Sudani, a key figure and coordinator of the global ISIS network, was eliminated," the official said.

A dozen members of this terrorist group were also killed.

Moreover, it was originally planned to capture the terrorists alive, but they put up a fierce resistance - and were killed.

No American soldiers were injured.
