Islamist gunmen burst into a Kenyan university before dawn Thursday, shooting students and taking hostages in a terror attack that left 70 dead, Kenyan officials said.
Two attackers were killed in the ongoing security operation, and one was arrested, authorities said.
More than 500 of the 815 students are accounted for at Garissa University College, the Kenya National Disaster Operation Center said. Staff members are accounted for as well.
The Somalia-based Al-Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility for the assault.
“This is a moment for everyone throughout the country to be vigilant as we continue to confront and defeat our enemies,” Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said.
The attackers cornered a building in which 360 students live, but some of the students escaped, Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery said.
