At least five Al Shabaab militants were killed by Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officers during an intelligence-led patrol in Lacta Mangai, Boni Forest, Lamu County. The operation, conducted on Tuesday, August 26, was part of ongoing efforts under Operation Amani Boni (OAB) to dismantle terrorist networks in the region.
The raid not only neutralized militants but also led to the recovery of critical operational items. Among the seized weapons were AK-47 rifles, Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) launchers with warheads, ammunition, tents, solar panels, and materials used in the assembly of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Operation Amani Boni is a joint initiative across security agencies operating in Boni Forest, as well as Lamu and Tana River counties. The mission aims to eradicate militant hideouts and restore long-term peace in a region frequently targeted by Al Shabaab incursions.
KDF urged Kenyans to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities, emphasizing that community cooperation is vital in the fight against terrorism. The military reiterated its commitment to ensuring families in Boni Forest and beyond live without fear of attacks.
The development comes just weeks after suspected Al Shabaab fighters raided Basuba village in Boni Forest. The militants indiscriminately attacked homes and targeted a General Service Unit (GSU) camp with heavy gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades. Security forces repelled the assault, preventing casualties, but the incident highlighted ongoing threats in the region.
