A KDF soldier has died and five others injured after two IEDs exploded in different locations in Lamu near the Somali border.
The explosions also destroyed armoured vehicles that the soldiers were using for patrols near Sirira and Ishakan on Tuesday afternoon.
KDF said the explosive devices have been planted on the roads by the Al Shabaab.
More officers have been deployed in the area to reinforce surveillance and patrols.
Last night, US President Donald Trump spoke with President Uhuru Kenyatta on how to overcome terrorism and other regional security challenges through close cooperation.
President Trump expressed appreciation for Kenya’s significant contributions to the African Union Mission in Somalia and recognised Kenyan troops’ sacrifices in the fight against al-Shabaab.
