Terror as Al-Shaabab attack police post in Arabia-Mandera….destroy all communication channels

Shortly after the deadly attack on a KDF camp in Kulbiyow, Al-shaabab has launched another vicious attack on a police post in Arabia-Mandera this morning, Thursday 2nd February.

According to reports which are not quite very clear, they stormed the Administration police post around 3AM, burnt the police vehicle and destroyed all communications channels.

The number of casualties at the police post is yet to be confirmed North Eastern regional commander Mohamud Saleh confirmed the attack and said a response team to check on the casualties has been sent.

“There is no communication with officers on the ground but there was an attack there. Teams are heading there,” he said.

KDF have since been deployed to the area to go and maintain sanity and the country is currently on a standstill awaiting communication from that end.

The Arabia attack comes in the wake of Kulbiyow massacre which saw 9 KDF soldiers lose their lives though Al-Shabaab reports indicated that more than 60 lives were lost during the attack.
