Posted by: Horseed Staff Nairobi – Kenyan police have repelled an attack by suspected Al-Shabaab militants on a security camp in the country’s north-eastern Mandera County, close to the border with Somalia. 25 July, 2026According to police, an unknown number of suspected Al-Shabaab fighters launched an assault on the Fino security camp on Friday evening. Residents told local media that the attack began in Fino between 18:00 and 19:00 local time (15:00–16:00 GMT). However, police suspect they were carried out by the Somalia-based militant group Al-Shabaab, which has previously targeted Kenya’s north-eastern region. The latest incident comes amid heightened security across Kenya following renewed threats by Al-Shabaab to carry out retaliatory attacks unless Kenyan forces withdraw from border areas and Somalia.
