The police said that the attack had been led by alleged Al-Shabab fighters who had launched an assault in Dawn.
At least six police officers were killed and four were injured after an attack on a police camp in Kenya by alleged fighters from the Somalia Al-Shabab group.
Kenyan police said on Sunday in a report that the attack was carried out in Garissa County, in eastern Kenya, on the border with Somalia.
The report added that the attackers launched an assault around Dawn on a housing police reservist camp and “used matched weapons to exceed the camp”.
“Six deaths were confirmed with four injured and in the hospital,” he said.
Although Al-Shabab has not yet commented on the attack, the group often performs cross-border operations against military and civil targets.
Attacks are involved a week after the United States Embassy issued an advisory warning, warning travelers against the visit of certain places in Kenya, including Garissa County, along the border with Somalia, due to the threat of an attack.
For years, Al-Shabab, which has links with Al-Qaeda, fights to overthrow the central government of Somalia and establish its own rule of law according to its interpretation of the Islamic Sharia law.
The last attack comes after Al-Shabab claimed the responsibility of a bomb by the road near the presidential palace of Somalia on Tuesday.
The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, firmly condemned the attack targeting the convoy and reaffirmed the support of the UN to the people and the government of Somalia “in their fight against terrorism and in the promotion of efforts to peace and stability,” said the deputy spokesman for the UN Farhan Haq.
The British Embassy of the capital, Mogadiscio, also condemned the attack and reaffirmed support for the efforts to combat Somalia terrorism.
“The United Kingdom remains an unshakable partner of the Somali government as they fight the violent extremists responsible for this contemptible attack,” the embassy said in a statement.
Earlier in March, Al-Shabab fighters stormed a hotel in the center of Somalia, where government representatives and tribal leaders met to discuss efforts to control the group. Several people would have died in the attack.
