Area deputy county commissioner Eric Oronyi confirmed the attack.

Oronyi said the heavily armed attackers also vandalized a Safaricom mast in Khoror Farar during the dawn attack.

"Communication has been cut off and we cannot confirm the exact damage but things are not good," Oronyi said, as reported by the Nation.

It’s barely a week since Al-Shabaab killed over 10 Kenya Defense soldiers in Kulbiyow, Somalia.
