Five al-Shabaab suspects were killed on Wednesday evening after they attacked a Garissa border police unit and injured three officers, one of who died in hospital. Northeastern police boss Rono Bunei said the attack happened a few minutes to 7pm. A security source said Anti-Terror Police Unit and Bomb Disposal Unit officers visited the scene and took away the explosives. “Yesterday, materials for new masts were brought and we were doing the works when the attack happened,” he said. A similar attack happened in June 2019 during which three al Shabaab terrorists were killed.
