A Kenyan official says two police officers have been killed by an improvised bomb near the place where four officers died a day earlier in a similar explosion.
The attacks have raised concerns that the al-Shabab extremist group is turning its focus on Kenya after military pressure on its strongholds in neighboring Somalia.
North Eastern Regional Coordinator Mohamud Saleh said Thursday the two officers were airlifted to the capital, Nairobi, after the blast struck their vehicle in the Liboi area.
