MANDERA COUNTY: Gunmen believed to be Al Shabaab militia attacked Mandera police stations and one of the homes of the local county boss Friday night but no injury was reported.

The gang is said to have fired several times at three police stations in the area forcing police to take cover before they escaped.

They also attacked one of the homes of the deputy county governor.

Police say they are yet to know who the attackers were and no casualties were reported.

The suspects also hurled a Rocket Propelled Grenade (R.P.G) but no one was injured, police said.

Mandera county police commander Noah Mwivanda said the militants had divided themselves into groups before launching the attacks at Mandera police station, Tawala police station, at the border point, and the private home.
