5 KDF soldiers killed in suspected Al Shabaab attack

At least five Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers died and six others were injured on Wednesday in a suspected Al Shabaab attack at Kwa Omolo area in Lamu County.

The soldiers were on a routine security patrol when their lorry ran over an improvised explosive device (IED).

The attack came hours after a military helicopter passed through the area while heading to Garissa County to deliver medical services.

A multi-agency security team has since been deployed in the area to pursue the militants behind the attack.
