NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 26- Four Al-Shabaab terrorists have been killed in Boni Forest, Lamu County, by security officers drawn from the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).
The militants were killed during the ongoing operation to weed out terrorists from the forest.
In a statement, the Department of Defence said they also recovered a rifle with 100 bullets.
“The militants were trying to cross the common border into Kenya during the early morning encounter,” reads the statement.
“Others in the group escaped with multiple injuries to the neighboring County.”
DoD said KDF has intensified within and around the expansive forest, that has for long played as host to the militia.
The militants have claimed tens of lives, both of security officers and civilians.
