(CNN) -- Armed gunmen kidnapped two aid workers from a Somali town near the Ethiopian border, Save the Children said Friday.
The two worked for the organization and were seized Thursday night.
"At this point, Save the Children has no further information as to the whereabouts or well-being of their staff," the organization said in a statement.
The British Foreign Office said it was aware of the reports, and was "urgently investigating". It declined to provide any further information.
Save the Children is an international organization based in the United Kingdom. It works to improve the lives of children worldwide.
Somalia has not had a stable government since 1991, and fighting between rebels and government troops has escalated the humanitarian crisis in the famine-ravaged country.
