Kenyan security forces successfully "eliminated" militants who stormed the upscale DusitD2 hotel complex in Nairobi, ending a 20-hour siege.
The attack, claimed by the Somali Islamist group al Shabaab, resulted in the deaths of at least 14 people, including Kenyans, an American, and a Briton.
Over 700 civilians were safely evacuated from the hotel, with President Uhuru Kenyatta vowing to make Kenya inhospitable to terrorist groups and their networks.
The incident echoed a 2013 assault on a Nairobi shopping center and highlights al Shabaab's continued targeting of Kenya due to its military presence in Somalia.
