At least six people have lost their lives after a five-storey residential building collapsed in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, from whose rubble five people have been pulled out alive so far, according to what the city Police has reported.
The building collapsed shortly before 10.00 a.m. in an area near the railway terminal, by the main road that connects the capital with the large port city of Mombasa.
At the time of the collapse, several construction workers were working on site when the structure began to sink from the roof, as Nairobi County's Disaster Management Department head, Bramwell Simiyu, has explained in a media briefing.
For now, no further information is available about possible people trapped under the debris nor about the specific situation of the injured.
