Four suspected Al-Shabaab militants have been eliminated in Garissa County after security officers used drones to track them.

In a statement on Monday, June 2, the Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) Kenya confirmed that the four terrorists were neutralized at the Najo and Guracho areas of Garissa County on Monday.  According to CTP, the Special Operations Group (SOG) team used a drone to track the four individuals.
