One of the attacks that took place in Warabeyo area under Mandera town was pretended to be an election center and the attack took place during the preparations for the election which started today in the country.

At least 6 soldiers of the Kenyan government have been reported injured, and the situation is still very tense.
There is no word yet from Kenyan security officials regarding the attacks, whose purpose was said to be to disrupt the election.
The Al-Shabaab group always carries out planned attacks that cause various losses in the North East region of Kenya, which has a long border with Somalia.
