Four people were killed on Wednesday morning after a cargo plane crashed into two buildings and burst into flames in the Utawala area in Nairobi.

Nairobi County police commander Benson Kibue said the accident, involving a plane belonging to Skyward International LTD, occurred around 4am.
“The plane crash-landed and burst into flames, four occupants were killed and we are combing through the debris to find out if there are more,” he said.
