Six people have been killed and several others injured after over 100 bandits suspected to be herders from Samburu attacked Turkana herders near Buffalo Springs National Reserve in Attan, Ngaremara in Isiolo County.

Isiolo County Commissioner Herman Shambi said the attackers first pretended to be grazing near the area before attempting to steal cows, triggering a fierce fire exchange in which a 17-year-old herder and five unidentified attackers were killed.
