At least two police officers were Friday killed after their vehicle was hit by an explosive device in Dadaab, Garissa County.
Police said the Land Cruiser from the Dadaab police station was racing on the Dadaab-Garissa main supply route at the Hagarbul area when it ran over a set Improvised Explosive Device.
Four police officers were on board the vehicle and two bodies were found at the scene while two were missing.
Regional police boss George Seda confirmed the incident and added a response team had been sent to the scene.
This is the latest such incident to happen in the area.
On February 14, three other officers were killed after their vehicle ran over an improvised explosive device (IED) in the Alango-Arba area near Saretho, Garissa.
The incident happened when a speeding vehicle carrying personnel from Boarder Patrol Unit was hit.
The vehicle was badly damaged. Four other officers were seriously injured.
Such attacks are common in the area as al-Shabaab militants breach security posts to attack at will.
The region has borne the brunt of repeated attacks from the militants who are at times aided by residents.
The terrorists at times plant explosives on the routes used by security agencies and attack them.
Somalia has not had a stable government after the fall of Siad Barre in 1991.
