Six people were killed when a building under construction collapsed near Kenya’s capital Nairobi on Friday, Citizen TV reported.
The structure came down at about 9:52 a.m. in Mlolongo, near the Standard Gauge Railway terminus along the Nairobi–Mombasa highway, the broadcaster said in a post on X.
The Kenya Red Cross said at least three people had been rescued and taken to hospital.
The collapse follows a similar incident on October 23, when a 12-storey building in Nairobi collapsed, killing eight people.
Building collapses are frequent in Kenya. The state-run Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis has identified poor workmanship, low-quality construction materials, inadequate supervision and flawed structural designs as major contributing factors.
The cause of Friday’s collapse was not immediately clear.
