Two teenagers have been killed by an explosive in Mandera.
The two were herding family livestock when they picked a metallic device which later exploded, killing them on the spot.
Mandera Paramount Chief, Issack Adawa Edo alias Chief Borow said the two mistook the device for an old metallic tube only to explode after it was hit on a tree by one of the victims.
"It was an old explosive according to reports we have gathered so far. It had rusted," Chief Adawa said by phone.
