Heavily armed Fighters belonging to Al Shabaab have launched an ambush attack on Kenyan defense forces (KDF) convoy in Southern Somalia on Sunday, reports said.
The KDF convoy came under bomb and gun attack as it was travelling between Legta and Kulbiyow areas in Lower Jubba region of southern Somalia.
The surprise assault began with a blast caused by an improvised explosives device (IED) struck the Kenyan army convoy, sparking subsequently a gunfire.
The details of the casualties remained sketchy due to the remoteness of the area of the attack and neither Al Shabaab nor KDF command did comment on the ambush.
Kenyan defense forces who are serving under AMISOM have crossed into Somalia in October 2011 to crush out the militants, following series of attacks on its soil by Al Shabaab.
