There were no immediate reports of casualties in the attack on Thursday night in the village of Panda Nguo, which lies in Lamu County on the northern coast where most of the attacks have taken place.
It was not clear who carried out the assault. "Unknown criminals burnt down the administration block, classrooms and a store," the senior regional official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.
The spike in attacks on the coast, long a hotbed of discontent, has raised fears of a full-blown insurgency unless the government tackles problems of ethnic rivalries, land rows and Islamist militancy.
The Somali Islamist militant group al Shabaab has claimed responsibility for most of the attacks, including deadly raids on the Mpeketoni area, which lies in Lamu County, in which about 65 people were killed in back-to-back assaults over 24 hours.
The government has dismissed that claim, blaming local political networks - widely seen as directed at President Uhuru Kenyatta
