The explosive is believed to have been planted by suspected Al-Shabaab militants on Sankuri-Mararani road in Lamu East. Police sources said some of the injured officers went missing after the attack and were found Monday morning. Mr Kitiyo said the injured were taken to various hospitals within Lamu County. Last week, four people were beheaded in two villages in Hindi, Lamu West by the suspected Al-Shabaab militants. On August 2, three Tana River County officials died after their vehicle was torched by suspected militants in the same area.
