Description:

Six police personnel in north-east Kenya have been killed after assailants attacked a base near the border with Somalia, a regional official said.

No group has claimed responsibility, but Garissa County Commissioner Mohamed Mwabudzo told the BBC the style of the attack followed a pattern of raids by Somali-based Islamist militant group al-Shabab.

He said the officers were ambushed on Sunday at 05:30 local time (02:30 GMT), while they were preparing for their morning prayers.

In addition to the six officers who died, four officers were taken to hospital with injuries.
