About 60 suspected Al Shabaab militants reportedly raided Basuba village, which is located within the Boni Forest in Lamu County.

Reports indicate that the heavily armed militants invaded the village and opened fire indiscriminately, going after the residents in their homes.

According to witnesses, the terrorists launched the attack on Friday, July 25, at around 9 pm, sparking fear among the residents who were unable to reach out for help.

Further details suggest that a number of the militants went ahead to surround the General Service Unit (GSU) police camp that is located a few meters from the village.
