An intelligence led operation by the Special Operations Group, supported by aerial assets, killed 11 Al-Shabaab terrorists after raiding a makeshift camp near the Kenya Somalia border.
The militants, estimated to number about 30, were reportedly planning an attack on a border village in Mandera County.
Seven terrorists were seriously injured during the operation, while the remaining fighters fled into jungle.
Security officers recovered three PKM machine guns and about 409 rounds of ammunition.
Beyond the weapons, investigators also seized mandatory religious tax receipts used by Al-Shabaab.
The documents point to a structured system of taxation and checkpoint administration, reinforcing intelligence that the group continues to operate an organized governance and revenue collection network in territories across the border.
The recovered records provide fresh insight into how the militants finance and sustain their operations while preparing attacks targeting Kenya.
