Explosions on two buses in Kenyan capital, casualties reported: officials

NAIROBI: Powerful explosions ripped through two passenger buses in the Kenyan capital on Sunday, causing casualties, the Kenyan Red Cross and police said.

The buses blew up in the Thika Road area close to the city centre. Images shown on Kenyan television showed a large red passenger bus with a large hole ripped out of its side, and a green bus with its roof and sided buckled by an explosion.

There was no word on casualties and no immediate claim of responsibility.

Four people were killed on Saturday when attackers threw an explosive device at passengers at a bus station in Mombasa, and also targeted a luxury hotel in the coastal city.
