12 dead in Al-Shabaab attacks in Kenya

 
At least 12 people, including six soldiers, were killed in two separate attacks linked to the terrorist group Al-Shabaab in Sahel and eastern Kenya.

The police said that the attackers used explosive devices to target the security services while they were moving on the roads, wounding dozens.

According to the police, in the first incident, Al-Shabaab gunmen targeted a passenger bus in the eastern district of Mandera by shooting at it to force the driver to stop, to no avail. The driver went off with a flat tire, saving nearly 50 passengers on board.

In the eastern district of Garissa, the police stated that the terrorist group targeted the Kenya Defense Forces with an explosive device, killing four of them after the vehicle ran over an explosive device.
