Public transport on the Lamu-Garsen road resumed early Friday following its suspension after suspected Al-Shabaab terrorists attacked buses on Thursday.
Three people were killed and three injured in the incident in Nyongoro at around 12.30 pm.
Lamu County Commissioner Irungu Macharia said public transport was halted for security agencies to pursue the attackers, who fled into the bush.
Speaking to the Nation on Friday, Coast Regional Coordinator John Elungata said all public service vehicles plying the Lamu-Garsen-Mombasa route had been allowed to operate.
Mr Elungata said that security agents, including Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers, had been deployed to Nyongoro and along the road for a major operation in search of the killers.
