Six Kenyan traders were brutally killed in a cross-border in the Somalia border town of Dhobley, according to reports.
The victims were hawkers who regularly crossed the border to open their shops in Dhobley.
“Gunmen with covered faces, suspected to be Al-Shabaab militants, arrived in a white Probox vehicle and opened fire indiscriminately on the Kenyan traders,” according to eyewitness.
“The sudden attack left four dead at the scene, while two others who sustained serious bullet wounds succumbed to their injuries during treatment at a local hospital,” according to reports.
Garissa County Police Commander John Samburumo confirmed the incident, highlighting the cross-border nature of the attack.
Investigations are underway, but local officials suspect the killings were religiously motivated.
This attack by suspected Al-Shabaab militants further intensifies the tension on the already volatile Kenya-Somalia border.
