Over 20 Kenyan fishermen were killed at the Todonyang border point along Lake Turkana after suspected gunmen from a neighbouring country ambushed them and opened fire indiscriminately.
Reports indicate that heavily armed Dassanech militia stormed the area while the fishermen were engaged in their activities on Lake Turkana.
The attack left several others critically injured, with fears that the death toll could rise.
Further reports from local police suggest that the attack may have been a retaliatory strike following an earlier incident in which a well-known bandit shot and killed three Dassanech fishermen in Turkana on Saturday morning.
