Kenya: One killed as officials avert Al-Shabaab attack on police station in Yumbis, Garissa

One police officer succumbed to injuries following the attack while three others were injured.

Al-Shabaab terrorists who attacked a security camp in the area were repulsed. The terrorists used Rocket Propelled Grenades in their attack on the station before they were repulsed by the Border Patrol Unit personnel who were there at about 6pm.

Officials said an Improvised Explosive Devise (IED) that had been set in the area went off but no injury was reported.

In Fafi, Garissa County, security officials recovered more than 20 high explosive ammunitions on the roadside concealed under a camel bag. It is not clear who had abandoned the bag at the scene.
