Gunmen killed at least 29 people in raids on two separate areas on the Kenyan coast, the interior ministry said on Sunday amid reports that a foreign tourist was shot dead in the port city of Mombasa.
The Russian tourist died after being shot while touring a historical site in Mombasa on Sunday, police said.
“It is unfortunate the lady who was shot has succumbed to injuries,” Mombasa’s deputy divisional police chief Tom Okoth said, confirming the woman’s nationality as Russian.
