A bomb blast at a guesthouse in northeast Kenya killed at least 12 people on Tuesday, the same area hit earlier this month by Shabaab militants, police said.

"We have found 12 bodies so far after we managed to access the building," one senior police officer told AFP.

"We are still combing the area with the help of anti-terrorism police and sniffer dogs in the ongoing search and rescue."

A local police chief also confirmed the toll in local media.

Eleven men and one woman were killed in the 3:30 am blast at the Bishar Guesthouse, a police source told AFP.
