Monday, October 27,
2025 - The Elite
Special Operations Group (SOG) has foiled a planned terror
attack after intercepting eight Al-Shabaab operatives who were attempting to
plant Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs) along the
Welmerer–Yumbis Road in
Garissa County.
Acting on a timely tip-off from members of the public, the
highly trained SOG officers swiftly responded to the scene, where they engaged
the suspects.
The team managed to recover
assembled IEDs that were allegedly meant to target civilians
and security personnel using the busy route.
In a statement, SOG commended the vigilance and cooperation of the local community, which was instrumental in averting what could have been a deadly attack.
“We appreciate the continued partnership of the community and other stakeholders and urge everyone to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to help foil future terror plots,” the statement read in part.
The operation underscores the unwavering commitment of Kenya’s security agencies to protect the lives of citizens and neutralize terrorism threats before they occur.
