The Pentagon has announced it conducted an airstrike in Libya targeting a mid-level Al-Qaeda-associated militant, but could not be completely sure that it succeeded, as officials are still “assessing the results” of the strike.

“Last night, the US military conducted a counterterrorism strike against an Al-Qaeda-associated terrorist in Libya. We are assessing the results of the operation and will provide additional information as and when appropriate,” a Pentagon spokesman, Colonel Steve Warren, said.

Warren could not specify where exactly the strike took place in Libya, and it was not immediately known if it was carried out by a drone or manned aircraft.

Warren also emphasized that there had been no US boots on the ground assisting the operation, Reuters reports.
