GARISSA, Kenya, May 25 (Xinhua) -- At least two Kenyan police officers were killed and two others seriously injured early Thursday in terror attack involving improvised explosive device (IED) in Garissa county along border with Somalia.
Regional government official Mohamud Saleh said the officers were killed when their vehicle ran over an IED, which was planted between Malelei and Kulan road.
The incident happened just a few kilometers from where three of their colleagues were killed the previous day.
"For the last one and half weeks, Al-Shabaab operatives have tried to destabilize the region and especially along the border with Somalia, but our resolve is to fight them remains undeterred," he said.
Saleh said the officers were traveling to Liboi at the border between Kenya and Somalia to reinforce their colleagues carrying out an operation to flush out the militants believed to be hiding around the area.
Saleh said that the attacks will not deter the government's resolve to fight and eliminate terror from the region.
