Three teachers were killed in Kenya near the country’s border with Somalia in a suspected attack by al Shabaab militants, a police report seen by Reuters said on Monday, in what would be the latest assault by the group since the new year.
The militia also attacked a local police station and destroyed a telecommunications mast in the attack in the early hours of Monday in Garissa county, the report read.
“Initial reports indicate that the militants set the police camp on fire and further tried to bring down the communication mast located about 300 meters away,” said the police.
More police officers have been dispatched to the scene amid fears that the militants could have planted improvised explosive devices on the road, according to the police.
