A police officer lost his life, and two others sustained injuries on Thursday when an improvised explosive device (IED), concealed within a donkey cart, detonated at the Mandera border crossing point of Ina Bari in Mandera County.
The incident occurred at 9:50 AM, when the cart came to a stop at the border police checkpoint.
Sadly, the police officer passed away on the spot, while the two injured officers were promptly transported to the hospital with severe injuries.
Authorities have initiated investigations to determine the details surrounding the attack. Security measures are also being intensified to safeguard the area and its residents in the aftermath of this tragic incident.
The attack comes days after the UK government issued a travel advisory targeting specific areas in Kenya.
