Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) troops killed four Al-Shabaab militants during an operation undertaken at a forest in Lamu County.
The KDF troops carried out the operation on February 26 at Boni Forest.
KDF published a press release providing details of the Saturday morning operation at the forest.
Al-Shabaab militants have notoriously used Boni Forest for years.
KDF said its soldiers encountered and engaged with the militants at around 7.30am on Saturday morning.
At the time, the militants were attempting to cross into Kenya along the common border with Somalia.
No KDF soldier died or suffered injuries during the fight.
