Two boys were killed and another was seriously injured in a grenade explosion in Tiaty, Baringo County. The boys were tending to livestock when they found the device and began playing with it, causing it to explode. The third boy was rushed to the Chemolingot Sub-county Hospital and then transferred to the Nakuru Level Five Hospital for treatment. The incident caused panic among the local residents, who called on the government to send bomb experts to detect and dispose of any abandoned lethal weapons in the area. These weapons may have been left behind during past operations against bandits and pose a risk to the residents. In the wake of the explosion, there have been calls to revive several multi-million-shilling projects, including irrigation schemes, in insecurity-hit counties in the region that have been affected by decades of armed conflicts resulting from cattle raids and boundary disputes.
