Two policemen and a teacher were killed and others injured when Al-Shabaab militants stormed a police station in northeastern Kenya's Mandera county early Friday, authorities said.
According to the police, the gunmen belonging to the Al-Shabaab movement destroyed a communication mast, which disrupted public communications in the area.
A security report confirmed the invasion of the Al-Wargdud police station in Al-Wak, a few kilometers from the border with Somalia, at 1:30 am, forcing most of the officers there to evade for their own safety.
Kenyan police stated that the militants stole a police car and an unknown amount of ammunition from the police station, adding that the terrorists fled to the nearby border.
