Monday blast victim being carried to an ambulance
At least six people were killed on Monday night when grenades were hurled at a food kiosk and bus stop in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area.
Police said several people were wounded in the explosions that occurred at Joska, which has been the scene of previous explosions. Witnesses said they heard three explosions on the street.
Emergency crews were immediately scrambled to the scene, which is in the same estate where a suspected terrorist died on Sunday as an Improvised Explosive Device he was assembling exploded.
The attack comes a week after six people died when assailants burst into a church in Likoni district close to the port city of Mombasa and opened fire on worshippers.
Kenya has been hit by a series of attacks since sending troops into southern Somalia in October 2011 to battle Al-Qaeda-linked Shabaab insurgents.
