Six police personnel were killed in Kenya after suspected militants from the Al Shabaab group attacked a police reservist camp in Garissa county, near the border with Somalia.
The ambush occurred early on Sunday morning while the officers were preparing for morning prayers, leading to the loss of six lives and injuring four others who were subsequently hospitalized. The police reported that the attackers employed a variety of weapons to overrun the camp housing reservists—local volunteers assisting regular police forces.
The attack is part of a larger trend, as Al Shabaab frequently carries out cross-border assaults aimed at disrupting security in Kenya. This trend, characterized by a "guerrilla-style" attack pattern, has been noted by local officials, indicating that these incidents are strategically aligned with the group's ongoing insurgency against Somalia's federal government.
Garissa County Commissioner Mohamed Mwabudzo confirmed the details of the assault and highlighted that the group has significantly escalated its attacks in recent months. The rising threats necessitate vigilance, prompting advisories from international bodies, including the U.S. embassy, warning citizens against travel to high-risk areas like Garissa due to potential terror activities.
