KDF kill five suspected Al Shabaab along Kenya-Ethiopia border![]()
Kenya Defense Force troops last night killed five al-shabaab militants and recovered a car laden with explosives and six suicide vests.
The 11pm Saturday incident happened at Dolo, on the Ethiopian side near the border town of Moyale.The militants were attempting to sneak into the country through the Kenya - Ethiopia border using a Toyota Prado bearing Kenyan registration numbers.
The vehicle was laden with 100 kilograms of explosive. The terrorists had engaged the KDF troops in a shootout before they were killed. The KDF operation was done together with the Somali National Army. A massive operation designed to wipe out the terrorist group’s activities in Somalia was launched last month under the auspices of the African Union mission in Somalia.
KDF troops are deployed in sector 2, a region that stretches from lower Gedo through middle Juba to lower Juba which encompasses Kismayu.Watch KTN Live http://www.ktnkenya.tv/liveFollow us on http://www.twitter.com/ktnkenyaLike us on http://www.facebook.com/ktnkenya
