Two officers were injured in an armed Mandera ambush

 Mandera - An attack carried out by suspected Al-Shabaab militants injured two police officers early Friday morning.

The police said that two attackers opened fire on the convoy from both sides of the road, which led to the injury of a police officer with minor injuries in the palm of her right hand, and another policeman was wounded by gunshot wounds in his legs.

The convoy carrying 25 police officers was on its way from Nairobi to Mandera when the ambush occurred in the Isakura district of Mandera, about 10 kilometers south of Ramu town along the Ramu-Ilwak highway.

It should be noted that the Somali-based extremist Islamic group continues to pose a constant threat to the stability of the Horn of Africa, particularly in the northeastern regions of Kenya bordering Somalia.
