At least 20 people were killed, and several others injured in what is believed to be a militia assault, in a shocking cross-border attack at the volatile Todonyang region on the Kenya-Ethiopia border.
Heavily armed assailants reportedly ambushed fishermen on Lake Turkana, indiscriminately opening fire.
The Interior Ministry confirmed the incident but did not provide further details.
Interior Principal Secretary, Raymond Omollo, addressing the media in Mukuyuni, Makueni County, did not disclose the exact number of casualties, but assured the public that police patrols along the border had been intensified amid escalating tensions. A local police reservist said they had counted at least 20 bodies, while many people remained unaccounted for.
