Kenya has closed its border with Somalia following a violent clash that resulted in the death of one Kenyan border guard and injuries to two others.
The incident occurred after Kenyan soldiers detained a Somali citizen from Balad Hawo in Mandera and transported him by air to Nairobi.
This action appears to have escalated tensions, leading to the confrontation between Kenyan and Somali forces.
The closure of the border is likely a precautionary measure to prevent further violence and to stabilize the situation in the region.
Incidents of this nature highlight the ongoing tensions and security challenges along the Kenya-Somalia border, which has been a hotspot for conflict and cross-border disputes.
