Two bodies have been recovered in the search for missing Kenyans following a cross-border attack in Todonyang along the Kenya-Ethiopia border.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said the bodies, identified as a man and a woman in their late 20s or early 30s, were found amid ongoing efforts to locate others still missing. "The government stands in solidarity with those who have lost their loved ones and those whose family members remain unaccounted for," said Murkomen on Wednesday, February 26. More than 20 fishermen were killed at the Todonyang border point along Lake Turkana by suspected Dassanech militia from neighbouring Ethiopia. The incident occurred on Saturday at around 5 p.m.
at Lopeimukat and Natira along the Kenya-Ethiopia border near River Omo.
Murkomen noted that poor communication on the Ethiopian side had slowed search and rescue operations.
