Militants from the Somalia-based Islamist group al-Shabab raided a police station in Kenya’s north-eastern region of Wajir, the Daily Nation newspaper reports.
The militants attacked Dadajabula police station in Wajir South in the early hours of Wednesday with heavy artillery, including rocket-propelled grenades, the newspaper reports.
A local government official is quoted as saying that the attack is linked to the arrest of two members of the group who were being held at the police station.
