Nine Kenyan soldiers were killed yesterday in an intense battle after Al Shabaab militants struck their Kolbiyow camp in Somalia – in a similar attack as at El Adde last January. The soldiers were part of the African Union peace keeping force (Amisom) deployed near the Kenyan border.
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) spokesman Lt Col Paul Njuguna said the soldiers repulsed and killed 70 Al Shabaab militants. The KDF lost two officers and seven servicemen, while 15 injured soldiers were evacuated to Defence Forces Memorial Hospital Nairobi for further medical attention.
