NAIROBI, KENYA; Heavy explosions rocked Kapitewoi in Kapedo, Baringo County, as Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) began an air and ground offensive to flush out bandits who killed 21 police officers.

KDF troops unleashed the firepower after expiry of the 24-hour ultimatum by President Uhuru Kenyatta for the surrender of the attackers and guns seized from the slain officers.
