Kenyan security forces have killed 11 suspected Al-Shabaab militants during an intelligence-led operation near the Kenya-Somalia border, authorities said.<\/p>\n
According to the Kenya Centre for Counter Terrorism Policing, the operation was carried out by the Special Operations Group (SOG) against a makeshift Al-Shabaab camp located near the border with Somalia.<\/p>\n
The agency said the operation targeted approximately 30 militants who were allegedly preparing to launch an attack on one of the border villages in Mandera County.<\/p>\n
The early morning assault, which combined ground troops with aerial support, resulted in the deaths of 11 suspected militants, while seven others were seriously wounded, according to the statement.<\/p>\n
Security forces also recovered three PKM machine guns and approximately 409 rounds of ammunition during the operation.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the remaining militants fled across the border into Somalia following the raid.<\/p>\n
The operation is part of ongoing counterterrorism efforts by Kenyan security forces to disrupt Al-Shabaab activities along the Kenya-Somalia border, where the militant group has frequently staged cross-border attacks targeting security personnel and civilians.<\/p>\n
The Kenya Centre for Counter Terrorism Policing described the operation as a significant blow to the group’s operational plans in the border region.<\/p>\n
