Unidentified men riding in a taxi hurled a hand grenade at a police vehicle passing by the Nairobi Hotel in Mandera's main market in the evening of 05/09. The group then directed small arms fire at the police, forcing the police to withdraw quickly, before their damaged vehicle broke down along the road to the police station. Three police officers and a civilian (a cashier at the Nairobi Hotel) were injured in the attack. The attackers managed to escape the scene without suffering any casualties. |
