NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 19 – Four Kenya Defense Force soldiers were injured when their vehicle ran over an Improvised Explossive Device in Wajir on Monday.

The water bowser was carrying military personnel when it hit the IED at Geriley village, an area near the Somalia border.

North Eastern Regional Commissioner Mohamud Saleh says the soldiers are out of danger.

The incident is the latest in a series of similar attacks targeting security forces, the latest being the killing of a chief last week and earlier attacks that left more than 20 police officers dead.
