A dormitory fire in Kenya’s central region of Nakuru killed at least 10 students, media said on Thursday, citing a senior police official.
Emergency rescue teams were searching the dormitory at Utumishi Girls Academy, where the fire started at about 1 a.m. (2200 GMT), radio station Capital FM said, citing Samuel Ndanyi, the regional police commander.
“It is a distressing and saddening situation,” county police official Masoud Mwinyi told distraught parents outside the school, said another broadcaster, Citizen Television.
