An Islamist-held town in southern Somalia has been hit by three missiles, fired by a US plane, local elders say.
Abdullahi Sheikh Duale said that four civilians had been killed in Dhoble, near the Kenyan border.
A spokesman for Islamist insurgents backed up the claims, reports the AFP news agency but there has been no comment from the US authorities.
The US bombed Somalia a year ago, trying to target Islamist leaders and terror suspects as they fled Mogadishu.
Senior Islamist official Hassan Turki had visited the town on Sunday, reports the AP news agency.
