At least 10 people, including five children, have been killed in a dawn raid in south-eastern Kenya in what officials say is a revenge attack.
More people were injured in the attack by suspected ethnic Ormas on a Pokomo village in the Tana River delta region.
Survivors were being treated for gunshot wounds, machete cuts and burns, said Red Cross officials.
The attack on Kibusu village came a day after raiders attacked a nearby Orma village, killing at least six.
The two villages are some 20km (12 miles) apart, with a police road block nearby.
Security had been stepped up after more than 100 villagers died in attacks in the area last year.
The two communities clashed in August after members of the Orma community were accused of grazing their cattle on land that the Pokomo say is theirs.
