At least nine people were killed after extremists carried out a second consecutive attack on a coastal area of Kenya.
According to ABC News, Police spokesman Masoud Mwinyi said that al-Shabab militants attacked Majembeni village. The Somali militant group also claimed responsibility for the Sunday night attack in nearby Mpeketoni that killed 48 people.
Meanwhile, the second attack sheds light on the weak security around the Lamu area, which lies just south of the Somali border.
The extremists, on Sunday night, went to each house and demanded to know if the men were Muslim and if they spoke Somali and opened fire on them upon getting negative responses.
Following the recent attacks, the US ambassador has made Kenya's entire coastal region off-limits for embassy employees, the report said.
