Iran Press/Africa: A hotel and office complex in an upscale area of the Kenyan capital Nairobi were hit by two explosions on Tuesday, with live footage also capturing the sound of gunfire and injured people being led away from the scene.
According to Russia Today news agency, a spokesperson for the police said they are treating the incident as a terrorist attack.
"We are under attack," a witness to the incident in the Dusit hotel told Reuters.
Footage from the scene shows cars on fire and injured people being helped away from the scene.
The Nairobi police commander Philip Ndolo said they had cordoned off the area around Riverside Drive due to a suspected robbery.
However, speaking to local television, a spokesperson for the police said they are not ruling out the possibility that it is a militant attack.
"We have to go for the highest incident that could take place. The highest incident we have is a terror (attack)," Charles Owino told Citizen Television.
