{About 50 Ethiopian soldiers have allegedly crossed into Kenya where they took over a police station for several hours, a local Kenyan official said Tuesday.}<\/p>\n
“They entered Kenya in many army vehicles; they were all armed,” Ali Iyeese, an official in Kenya’s Marsabit County, told Anadolu Agency.<\/p>\n
“They completely overran the police station in North Horr,” he said.<\/p>\n
According to Iyeese, Ethiopian soldiers stayed for about two hours, surveying the area and taking photos.<\/p>\n
The Illeret police station in Kenya’s North Horr Marsabit County is less than 20 kilometers from the Ethiopia border.<\/p>\n
The Kenyan army, for its part, has remained tightlipped about the reported incursion, despite several attempts by Anadolu Agency to obtain comment.<\/p>\n
Ethiopian officials, meanwhile, were not immediately available to comment on the allegation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
