Kenyans woke up on Sunday morning to the news of Al Shabaab attack at Manda Magogoni naval base in Lamu County.
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) later updated Kenyans through their social media pages of the incident.
“This morning at around 5:30am an attempt was made to breach security at Manda Air Strip. The attempted breach was successfully repulsed. Four terrorist’s bodies have so far been found. The airstrip is safe,” read part of the statement.
