WASHINGTON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - U.S. officials on Wednesday said there have been no new U.S. air strikes on targets in Somalia since the previously reported operation on Monday, contradicting a report from a Somali government source.

The Pentagon on Tuesday confirmed a first U.S. strike against al Qaeda targets occurred on Monday.

Strikes have continued in Somalia, according to a Somali government source, but U.S. officials said the United States had not conducted any strikes since Monday.
