A U.S. service member suffered a concussion injury from Monday's attack by the terrorist group al-Shabab at a U.S. military airfield in Somalia, according to U.S. Africa Command .
The attack on Baledogle Military Airfield was one of two attacks conducted by al-Shabab in Somalia on Monday. The second attack -- also a suicide car bomber -- targeted Italian peacekeepers in the state capital of Mogadishu. The explosion missed the European Union peacekeepers, but there were reports that some Somali civilians were injured in the attack. AFRICOM disclosed that there was another airstrike in the country on Tuesday targeting one al-Shabab militant in a separate part of Somalia.
In total, the U.S. military has conducted 54 airstrikes against the Islamic State and al-Shabab in Somalia this year. Forty-three of those have targeted al-Shabab militants specifically. The pace of those strikes is expected to eclipse last year's total of 47 strikes against al-Shabab.
