An explosion at a bus stop in Mombasa killed three people and wounded seven more; another explosion occurred at a coastal resort in Nyali. Authorities claimed to have thwarted twin Shabaab attacks aimed at disabling power stations and conducting further attacks in northeastern Mandera, where militants tried to damage a power station; and in Wajir, where militants fired at a large fuel reservoir, threw an explosive at an NGO building, and shot a guard. Police killed two of the Mandera attackers, said to consist of 30 Shabaab militants; a number of Somalis wounded during the incident are being interrogated.
