In northern Kenya, suspected Islamist militants kidnapped two Cuban doctors during an ambush that resulted in the death of a police officer. The incident occurred in Mandera, where the doctors were being escorted to the hospital. The attackers seized the vehicle and crossed into Somalia. The hospital's vehicle was later recovered, and the driver is under interrogation. Security agencies are actively pursuing the kidnappers. This marks the second foreign kidnapping in five months, likely by the extremist group Al-Shabaab, linked to Al-Qaeda and based in Somalia.
