The Mandera-Bula Hawo border between Kenya and Somalia has been temporarily closed following a deadly clash between Kenyan security forces and Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA).
The confrontation, which took place at the Mandera Border Control Post, resulted in the death of a Kenyan police officer.
Local reports from Mandera indicate that the violence erupted when Somali NISA officers attempted to storm the Kenyan border post in an effort to free a Somali national who was being questioned by Kenyan authorities.
The situation quickly escalated, leading to an exchange of gunfire.
In response, the Kenyan government deployed its paramilitary Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) to secure the border and prevent further violence.
As a result, all cross-border trade and movement of people through the Mandera-Bula Hawo corridor have been suspended indefinitely, disrupting local businesses and economic activities in the region.
