Incident: Fire
ID: 20260621 | 04:00UTC
Loc: Gikomba Market, Nairobi County, Kenya
Issues:
A major fire broke out at Gikomba Market, preliminary reports indicate that the fire started at fish sections of the market, with flames rapidly spreading through stalls and business premises.
Emergency response teams currently on site.
The full extent of the damage remains under assessment. There are currently no confirmed reports of casualties; however, significant property losses are feared due to the scale of the fire and the concentration of commercial structures within the affected area.
The cause of the fire has not yet been established.
Advisory:
Motorists and members of the public are advised to avoid the affected area and allow emergency responders unobstructed access. Traders should follow instructions issued by authorities regarding access restrictions, damage assessments and recovery operations. Further updates are expected as response efforts continue and the extent of the damage becomes clearer.
ASCI is monitoring the situation and will provide updates as additional information becomes available.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Saturday captured the military garrison of Sirkum in Sudan's Blue Nile State, according to videos geolocated by Sudan War Monitor.
Located about 12 kilometers southwest of Sali in Kurmuk locality, Sirkum has long served as a defensive position guarding the Sali-Dindiro road, one of the main routes leading toward Damazin, the capital of Blue Nile State.
The RSF said it captured a large number of prisoners of war, tanks, weapons, ammunition and other military equipment left behind by Sudanese army forces.
One video geolocated by Sudan War Monitor shows RSF fighters standing in front of a tank that is also visible inside the garrison on satellite imagery.
The capture comes as fighting continues along the Sali-Dindiro axis, where Sudanese army forces have been trying to slow the advance of RSF and allied SPLM-N forces in northern Kurmuk locality.

Ebola Bundibugyo — DRC & Uganda | Official SitRep N°35, 18 June 2026
933 confirmed · 245 deaths · CFR 26.3% · TTI score 22.4%
Bottom line
For the first time, the data lets us say precisely where the response is failing: North Kivu’s contact tracing at 57.5%, nearly 20 points below Ituri, in the same province with the outbreak’s highest fatality rate. That is now the single most actionable number in this entire dashboard.
Source: Official SitRep N°35, 18 June 2026
Summary
This is the first fully official sitrep with detailed contact-tracing breakdown by province, and it confirms two things at once: the outbreak’s lethality has settled into the historical Bundibugyo range, and the response system’s weakest link is now precisely identifiable.
The numbers
914 DRC confirmed, 243 deaths, 80 recovered, 416 currently in isolation or hospitalised. 34 health zones affected — 22 in Ituri, 11 in North Kivu, 1 in South Kivu. CFR at 26.3%, now solidly within the 25–36% range seen in the 2007 and 2012 Bundibugyo outbreaks.
North Kivu is the weakest link — now quantified precisely
Contact follow-up by province: Ituri 76.8% (3,961 of 5,155 seen), South Kivu 100% (118 of 118 — full coverage, smallest caseload), and North Kivu only 57.5% (1,047 of 1,821 seen). The national average of 72.3% masks this gap. North Kivu is dragging the composite TTI score down hard, and it’s the same province carrying the outbreak’s highest CFR (~64%). Weak contact tracing and high lethality compounding in the same province is the most concerning structural signal in this sitrep.
The suspected-case pool is its own warning sign
238 suspected cases were recorded with 54 deaths among them — a 22.7% CFR within the unconfirmed pool alone.
Healthcare workers remain a serious exposure point
75 infected, 17 dead — 8% of all cases and 6.9% of all deaths concentrated in frontline responders. This has not changed since the prior update and remains flagged prominently on the chart.
What’s still pending
The zone-by-zone epi curve (bottom panel) has not yet been updated to reflect the new 34-zone count or the official contact-tracing breakdown — that update is queued pending the full case/death time series by zone.
#ALERT: Heartbreaking scenes from Jalalaqsi town, Hiiraan region.
Footage emerging from the area shows houses being set on fire amid ongoing clan clashes now in their third consecutive day. The violence has already claimed more than 10 lives, with reports of widespread destruction of civilian property.
Disturbingly, civilians are also seen encouraging the burning of homes, further worsening an already fragile and tragic situation.
The situation in Jalalaqsi continues to deteriorate and urgently calls for de-escalation and the protection of innocent lives.

Incident Alert:
Incident: Fatality / Hijacking Incident
ID: 20260619 | 03:15 UTC
Loc: Thika–Garissa Highway, Kenya
Issues:
A truck driver has been found dead along the Thika–Garissa Highway after members of the public discovered the body by the roadside. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, with preliminary reports suggesting the possible involvement of unknown assailants.
The incident follows a similar case reported in Ruiru along the Thika Superhighway within the past three days, marking the second truck driver death in a short period. The two incidents have heightened concerns among transport operators, logistics companies and motorists using the Nairobi–Garissa transport corridor and surrounding highway network.
Assessment:
The incidents are likely to heighten concerns among freight operators and could prompt increased security measures for cargo movements, particularly during night-time transit.
Should the trend continue, there is potential for disruptions to logistics operations and reduced confidence among transporters operating along the route.
Advisory:
Transport and logistics operators should exercise heightened vigilance, particularly during night movements and rest stops along major highways. Fleet managers are advised to maintain regular communication with drivers, monitor vehicle movements in real time where possible and report any suspicious activity to authorities.
Drivers should avoid isolated stopping points and unauthorised passenger picks.
ASCI continues to monitor developments and will provide updates as additional information becomes available.
Incident Alert:
Incident: Drone Strike on Power Infrastructure / RSF Mobilization
ID: 20260618
Loc: El Obeid, North Kordofan State, Sudan
Issues:
Rapid Support Forces (RSF) conducted a drone strike targeting a power substation in El Obeid, North Kordofan State. The attack caused disruptions to electricity supply and forms part of an ongoing pattern of strikes against critical infrastructure and essential service facilities across Sudan.
Heavy mobilization of RSF fighters and military assets around El Obeid and surrounding areas noted, potential intensified military operations in and around the city underway.
Assessment:
The drone strike and concurrent force mobilization suggest an increased likelihood of military escalation in North Kordofan. The concentration of RSF forces around El Obeid may indicate preparations for offensive operations, attempts to increase pressure on Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) positions or efforts to disrupt military logistics and governance functions within the region.
Continued attacks on critical infrastructure are likely to further degrade civilian living conditions and increase humanitarian needs across affected communities.
Advisory:
Personnel and organizations operating in North Kordofan State should maintain heightened situational awareness and review contingency plans. Non-essential movement within and around El Obeid should be minimized due to the risk of further drone strikes, armed clashes and movement restrictions. Organizations should also anticipate potential power outages, communication disruptions, and supply chain interruptions.
ASCI continues to monitor developments and will provide further updates as additional information becomes available.
Incident Alert:
Incident: Terrorist Attack | Govt Response
ID: 20260512 | 19:30 UTC
Loc: Fino SOG Camp, Mandera County, Kenya
Issues:
Suspected Al-Shabaab militants launched an attack on the Fino Special Operations Group (SOG) Camp in Mandera County. The attackers engaged security personnel in a firefight lasting approximately 25 minutes.
Militants used Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) and PKM machine guns during the assault before being repelled by security forces and forced to retreat from the area.
Three officers injured. No fatalities reported.
Multiple suspected injuries on the militants side.
Security agencies have since reinforced the camp and surrounding areas, while a pursuit operation has been launched to locate and apprehend the attackers.
Assessment:
The attack highlights the persistent threat posed by Al-Shabaab along Kenya's northeastern border regions. The group's continued ability to conduct cross-border raids and attacks against security installations underscores its operational intent despite sustained counterterrorism operations in the region.
Advisory:
Personnel operating within Mandera County, particularly in Lafey, Arabia, Elwak, and surrounding border areas, should maintain heightened vigilance. Security forces are likely to increase patrols, checkpoints, and clearance operations in the coming days. Non-essential travel near security installations and remote border areas should be minimized.
ASCI continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as further information becomes available.

Incident Alert:
Incident : Armed Clashes
ID: 20260603 | 22:00UTC
Loc: Mogadishu, Somalia
Incident Level: HIGH (Level 3) – Active armed confrontations with high risk of escalation and wider unrest.
Issues:
Heavy gunfire in multiple districts of Mogadishu pitting Somali government security forces against opposition-aligned security details and militias.
The violence occurs hours before planned large-scale opposition protests scheduled for 4 June, amid a deepening constitutional crisis over President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s term extension.
Clashes involve small arms and heavier weapons, with reports of civilian casualties, injuries and residents fleeing affected neighborhoods. Sporadic gunfire continues in parts of the capital as night falls.
No immediate claims of Al-Shabaab involvement; this appears primarily intra-Somali political security force fighting.
Flashpoint areas:
Dabka Junction (central/southern Mogadishu), Abdiaziz District, Hawl-Wadaag (Howl-Wadaag), Sayidka, Barmudo, and areas around Khaire’s residence where a consultative meeting with elders and opposition figures was reportedly attacked.
Reports of deaths and injuries on both sides plus civilians; exact figures unconfirmed and conflicting.
Risk Assesment:
High probability of renewed heavy fighting on 4 June during protests. Risk of spread to additional districts and involvement of more clan and militia elements.
Advisory:
For Clients and Operations in Mogadishu; Shelter in place where possible. Activate full lockdown protocols; avoid all movement, especially after dark and on 4 June. Review and test evacuation and contingency plans.
RTA ALERT
03 June 2026 @2035HRS
Enterprise Road, Industrial Area – Nairobi, Kenya
Fatal RTA reported along Enterprise Rd opposite KCB Bank, Industrial Area. A matatu rolled several times after the driver lost control. Multiple fatalities feared.
@ASCIsecure@sikikasafety
Situation Analysis:
Situation: Urban Unrest | Political Tension
SD: 20260603| 17:20 UTC
Loc: IVO Villa Somalia, Mogadishu, Somalia
Situation Level: HIGH (Level 3) – Imminent risk of urban unrest with exploitation potential by non-state actors
Issues:
Mogadishu is experiencing heightened political tensions ahead of planned opposition-led protests scheduled for 4 June 2026.
The standoff pits the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) under President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud against a coalition of opposition figures led by former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and ex-PM Hassan Ali Khaire, centered on allegations of unconstitutional term extension beyond the 15 May 2026 mandate expiry.
Recent forced evictions and demolitions have provided a mobilizing grievance. Rival security deployments signal a risk of direct confrontation.
The risk environment remains volatile with a high-probability window for Al-Shabaab to conduct opportunistic attacks or assassinations operations to further fuel divisions and undermine state authority.
The situation is fluid, with reports of armed movements, resident displacement and failed last-minute mediation.
Multiple reports confirm opposition-aligned forces and presidential guards moving in the capital, with heavy weapons visible. Residents are fleeing neighborhoods such as Howl-Wadaag amid fears of clashes.
Al-Shabaab Exploitation Potential:
AS has history of capitalizing on urban unrest through bombings, assassinations and mortar attacks to portray the government as weak and illegitimate. High-casualty incidents like the Lido Beach attack 2024 demonstrate sustained urban reach.
Political distraction and security force redeployments to manage protests could create vulnerabilities in checkpoints, bases or soft targets.
Flashpoint Districts:
Hodan, Howl-Wadaag, areas near Villa Somalia and the airport.
Risk & Threat Level:
High (Level 3). Probability of violent clashes moderate-to-high on 4 June; Al-Shabaab attack risk elevated in the coming 7–14 days.
Advisory:
For Clients/Operations in Mogadishu:
• Avoid all non-essential movement on 4 June and subsequent days. Implement remote operations where possible.
• Enhance compound hardening, review evacuation triggers, and maintain 24/7 situational awareness via local networks and embassy alerts.
��Vet local security providers rigorously for insider threats amid polarized loyalties.
• Restrict travel to flashpoint districts
Incident Alert:
Incident: Anti-Ebola Facility Protests | Govt response
ID: 20260601 : 14:45 H
Loc: Nanyuki Town
Incident Level: ELEVATED (Level 2) – Fluid situation with risk of further escalation
Issues:
Protests against the proposed US-backed Ebola Quarantine and Isolation Facility at Laikipia Airbase escalate following Kenya Police forceful disperse action, despite earlier successful de-escalation by Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).
Hundreds of local youths and residents marched peacefully toward the airbase but were blocked by KDF.
The crowd then returned to Nanyuki town, where police intervention led to teargas use and dispersal. No major casualties reported so far. The situation remains tense.
Advisory:
For Clients/Operations in Laikipia/Nanyuki: Avoid all non-essential movement in protest areas; enhance compound security; prepare for possible access restrictions and supply disruptions.
Immediate Actions: Adhere to local authority advisories; maintain low profile; monitor real-time local sources and alerts.
