KDF soldiers on Friday killed four al Shabaab militants in Hulugho, Garissa county and seized nine AK-47 rifles, 15 magazines and three grenades.
Spokesman Col Paul Njuguna said soldiers were on their normal patrol at around 10am when they successfully engaged the terrorists at Mchanga Nyekundu area.
"Following the engagement, four al Shabaab were neutralised and several escaped with injuries. Some of the assorted arms and ammunition were also recovered," he said.
Njuguna said the soldiers will remain vigilant and would continue to relentlessly pursue the terrorists wherever they may be to ensure there is peace and security.
In late October, more than 140 al Shabaab fighters were killed by KDF soldiers during a botched attack in Somalia's Afmadhow area in Lower Jubba in a gun battle that lasted for three hours.

Reports indicated about 500 al Shabaab militants in eight gun-mounted pickups and four lorries, attempted to overrun Jubaland Forces in Afmadhow town.
The attackers first targeted a police station, but were repulsed by both Jubaland Forces and Somalia National Army troops, before the KDF Special Forces arrived.
The soldiers destroyed two of the gun-mounted vehicles and killed many militants.
A small unit of KDF Special Forces surrounded the attackers and used portable 60mm mortars and machine guns to defeat them.
Al Shabaab were forced to withdraw and retreat towards Miido town with the KDF and the SNA in hot pursuit.
Initial battle assessment traced 140 bodies, but there were indications other bodies had been dragged away by the militants, who never leave behind their dead.
