Gunmen Attack Near Kenya-Somalia Border Leaves Four Construction Workers Dead

Gunmen in northern Kenya fatally shot four construction workers at a hospital site near a refugee camp close to the Somalia border. The attack, attributed to militants, left four others unharmed. Increased violence in the region has led the government to bolster security and delay plans to reopen the Kenya-Somalia border.

In a tragic incident near the Kenya-Somalia border, gunmen fatally shot four construction workers at a hospital site close to the Dadaab refugee camp, police reported on Saturday.

Friday's attack, which occurred while eight workers were resting, left four dead and prompted suspicions of involvement by a militant group active in the area. The remaining four workers escaped unscathed, according to a police official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Recent violent incidents, including this attack, have led to heightened security measures in northern Kenya and a temporary halt to plans for reopening the Kenya-Somalia border, underscoring ongoing instability in the region.
