Police and military officials are pursuing gunmen who attacked a police post along the Kenya-Somalia border and escaped with a police vehicle and mortar Sunday morning.

The incident happened in Diif Town, Wajir South in Wajir County. Police say no one was injured but the gang, believed to be Al Shabaab militants, escaped with a landcruiser and a mortar. They also burnt part of the structures that were at the station.

This is the latest attack after a lull of almost four months. Efforts to trace the car are ongoing. Survivors said the attack happened at about 2 am.
