North Eastern regional co-ordinator Mohamud Saleh says an unknown number of gunmen attacked Qarsa Primary School and targeted non-Muslim teachers. Saleh says a rescue team responding to the attack ran over an improvised device but no one was injured.
Education along Kenya's border with Somalia has been greatly hindered after non-Muslim teachers refused to work in the region following the extremist group's targeting of non-Muslims starting in 2014 that left dozens dead.
Al-Shabaab has vowed retribution after Kenya sent troops to Somalia in 2011 to fight the extremists in the Horn of Africa nation.
