KDF camp in Kulbiyow comes under Al-Shabaab attack

{Suspected Al-Shabaab militants have attacked a Kenyan military camp in Kulbiyow, Somalia.}

The KDF base was attacked on Friday morning and the number of casualties remains unconfirmed.

“We are under massive attack and there is massive exchange of fire,” Military Spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Njuguna told Nation.co.ke

Although the military spokesman didn’t offer finer details on the exchange, he said the Kenyan troops have been pinned down.

Al-Shabaab, in Twitter posts, claimed it had killed dozens of Kenyan soldiers but the Nation could independently verify the allegations.

The militant group has an elaborate propaganda machinery, complete with a spokesman, that fights to advance it war against the Mogadishu administration and its allies, including Kenya.
