Nairobi DusitD2 complex attack
On January 15, 2019, a coordinated attack perpetrated by Al-Shabaab occurred at the DusitD2 complex in Westlands District, Nairobi, Kenya. The attack began at around 14:30 EAT (UTC+3), shortly after a suicide bomber blew himself up near the centre of the complex at a restaurant. Four attackers carried out a mass shooting for over 22 hours which left 22 civilians, one Kenyan soldier and all five militants dead. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement published through the AS-affiliated Shahada News Agency shortly after the attack, with its external operations branch, the Saleh An-Nabhan Battalion, claiming being responsible. Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta said that the five militants that carried out the attack were all "eliminated" by security forces following a 19-hour operation led by Kenyan forces.
