At least 29 people have been killed in two deadly shooting attacks in Kenya’s coastal districts, the interior ministry has said.
Witnesses said heavily armed men raided a trading centre in the village of Hindi, in Lamu county, and a police station in Gamba, Tana River county, overnight on Saturday.
The Somali militant Islamist group al-Shabab said it was behind the killings.
It has previously mounted a number of attacks in the region. Witnesses said about a dozen armed men had appeared in Hindi late on Saturday evening and opened fire.
“They went around shooting at people and villages indiscriminately,” area chief Abdallah Shahasi told Reuters.
