The death toll from twin grenade attacks in northern Kenya has risen to 16 and more than 40 others injured, police said on Sunday.
Regional deputy police commander Phillip Ndolo told Xinhua that the deceased included 10 females, five males and one juvenile who were among the worshippers at one of the churches which were attacked by the gunmen.
"So far the death toll has risen to 16 and more than 40 have been injured. The injured are being treated at various hospitals," Ndolo told Xinhua.
He said the gunmen first killed two policemen who were screening the worshippers who enter the church for explosives and weapons as wave of insecurity have rocked the region.
"The attackers used two guns which they snatched from the two police officers to shoot at the worshippers," Ndolo said. - PNA
