More than one hundred people have been killed in US drone strikes in Somalia, Pakistan's northwestern tribal region bordering Afghanistan, and Yemen over the past two days.
On Saturday, 15 people were killed and 43 others were injured when the US military launched an attack using a remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle on the village of Bilis Qooqaani, which is located in southern Somalia, 448 kilometers (278 miles) west of the capital Mogadishu.
The US also launched drone strikes on the same region on Friday, killing at least 70 people.
In addition, five people were killed and four others injured in a non-UN-sanctioned US drone attack on Pakistan's South Waziristan on Saturday.
According to Pakistani officials, the unmanned aircraft fired four missiles at a house in the Baghar China area early on Saturday.
