Militant
Islamist group al-Shabab says it was behind the attack which killed at
least six people and wounded one in north-eastern Kenya.
The militants threw a grenade before opening fire in a residential area in Mandera town, police said.
Mandera County governor Ali Roba confirmed the casualties, adding that security guards had saved 27 people.
Al-Shabab is headquartered in Somalia, and has carried out a string of attacks in neighbouring Kenya.
“We have suffered another sad attack,” Mr Roba said in a tweet.
The raid took place in the early hours of Thursday in an area popular with people who came from outside Mandera town.
