Two people, including a local provincial administration officer, have been killed following an attack by suspected al-Shabab militants in Mandera county in northern Kenya.
Kenyan authorities say two other Kenyans, serving as local police reservists, were abducted by the attackers who fled to Somalia.
Police say more security personnel have been deployed to the area and the attackers are being pursued.
Media linked to al-Shabab said the group’s fighters had carried out the raid.
It occurred in the border town of Omar Jillo, where a dusk-to-dawn curfew is in force.
The incident happened only a week after two other people were killed in another suspected al-Shabab attack in Elwak, another town on Kenya-Somalia border.
Since the deployment of more security personnel, attacks in the region have fallen sharply.
