Eight Border Patrol Unit officers were injured on Tuesday after their armoured vehicle hit an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the Kiwanja-Yumbis area of Fafi Sub-county, Garissa.
The incident occurred approximately 10 kilometres from Yumbis town while the officers were on routine patrol.
Authorities suspect the device was planted by Al-Shabaab militants operating in the region.
Garissa County Commissioner Mohamed Mwabudzo confirmed the attack, noting that all the injured officers were receiving medical attention and were in stable condition.
