Alleged #AlShabaab attack on airstrip near Camp Simba (used by US & Kenyan forces) hours ago. Location of airstrip is here: goo.gl/maps/7WqtDTSiY…. Smoke seen emerging from the #Lamu base in open source imagery. This thread is to verify imagery.
This image of smoke rising from alleged attack area was taken south east of the air strip. The multicoloured building seen is located here: goo.gl/maps/jJvhjWUqL…. The light in the foreground of the image is on the barrier of the Lapset Compound. 
This footage, originally uploaded to FB today, was filmed from this exact location not far from the image above: goo.gl/maps/HZnoxJexc…. Credit to @TerraServer for updated imagery as @googleearth does not have completed construction of Lapset Compound. #Kenya #Lamu
Geolocation of above footage of smoke seen rising from airstrip in #Lamu, #Kenya near Camp Simba. The video was filmed from here: goo.gl/maps/HZnoxJexc… at Lapset Compound. I have overlayed updated @TerraServer imagery into @googleearth for purpose of correct line of site.
@TerraServer @googleearth Closer to the alleged attack area in #Lamu, footage uploaded by @VictorMochere shows smoke bellowing from road to the Lamu Airstrip (goo.gl/maps/hrbgH9iyi…), just east of the Kenya/US base. Note: @kdfinfo mentioned attempted breach of air strip
Geolocation of above footage of scene of attempted breach on #Lamu Air Strip in #Kenya. Video filmed here: goo.gl/maps/C6XX3QUbD…. Only one tree on road overshadows one of barricades. Note: it appears main point of conflict happened at entry barricades which shows their worth.
Investigator @john_marquee has also geolocated some of the unverified footage coming out that give us more of an understanding as to what happened at the #Lamu Air Strip attack in #Kenya👇
@john_marquee Images taken near the #Lamu air strip in #Kenya and hangars indicate where the alleged #AlShabaab attack happened. The large tin-roofed (orange) seen in the images is located here: goo.gl/maps/cuMqnSF8H…. H/T to @ngwata_ for sharing these.
@john_marquee @ngwata_ Imagery from above photo indicates damage/burning to buildings (identified in red shading on satellite image) at the Manda Airport Lamu, just near Camp Simba Military Base. Location of building with orange roof is here: goo.gl/maps/BNA6YyEsc…
@john_marquee @ngwata_ Imagery from AS propaganda of today's attack indicates long slats on apron of Manda Airport in #Lamu, #Kenya. @TerraServer .30m satellite imagery of apron (here: goo.gl/maps/cpRrUXUZK…) shows same long-style slats. Note: I blurred unnecessary AS propaganda.
