U.S. Navy SEAL Kyle Milliken Killed in Somalia Ambush

HeadlineMay 08, 2017

In Somalia, U.S. Africa Command said Friday U.S. Navy SEAL Kyle Milliken was killed and two others wounded as they were ambushed while advising the Somali army on fighting al-Shabab militants. Milliken’s death was the first reported U.S. combat fatality in Somalia since the so-called “Black Hawk Down” incident in Mogadishu in 1993, which left 18 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of Somalis dead.
