A 16-story building under construction collapsed in the South C area of Nairobi on Friday. An unknown number of people are trapped in the rubble.
Rescue workers are searching for survivors at the site. The Kenya Red Cross has a response team on the scene.
Authorities have not stated a cause for the collapse or provided casualty figures. They do not expect a high death toll.
Building collapses are common in Nairobi due to high housing demand and developers bypassing regulations. Following eight collapses that killed 15 people in 2015, a national audit found 58% of buildings in Nairobi were unfit for habitation.
