10 Kenya Defence Forces officers feared dead after vehicle ran over IED
|
The Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) condemned the attack in the Buure area but did not confirm the number of casualties.
A security official, however, said ten soldiers were killed and four others maimed after their vehicle which was on patrol ran over an improvised bomb along Milimani Baure road.
The official who declined to be named said ten of the personnel on board were killed on the spot and those who sustained injuries are at death's door. "The condition of the injured soldiers is bad," the official said, noting that the earth-shattering kaboom destroyed the vehicle.
In a statement issued Monday in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, the KDF condemned the incident, saying the criminals were determined to disrupt the movement of people and goods in the area and thus destroy socioeconomic stability in the area.
"KDF calls on the residents to share information with security agencies on these criminal elements who lurk in their communities," the military said. Lamu County has been in the spotlight for some years now owing to increased scathing attacks by the holy warriors that have left hordes of security officers and civilians dead.
