First Batch Of Bodies Of Fallen KDF Soldiers Killed In Somalia Touch Down At Wilson Airport Late At Night (Photos)

The plane carrying the remains of Kenya Defence Force soldiers killed in Somalia last Friday landed at Wilson Airport at 10pm.

Four caskets covered with Kenyan national flag were received by Defence Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo and other senior military officials.

The coffins were laid on four tables that had been put at the receiving area of the airport prior to the arrival of the place carrying the bodies of KDF soldiers.

Prayers were held followed by a military parade to honor the deceased after which the fallen soldiers were taken to the mortuary.

More bodies are expected to be flown in from Somalia as KDF continues to repatriate fallen colleagues lost in the Friday raid.
