A massive gas explosion in Nairobi, Kenya claims at least three lives and injures nearly 300 as a gas-laden truck detonates in the Embakasi district. The blast, occurring around 23:30, engulfs the area in flames, damaging homes, businesses, and vehicles. Investigations into the explosion's cause are underway. One arrest has been made, and the death toll could rise. Many injured, including children, have been treated, while a search and rescue operation continues. Authorities clarify the explosion involved a truck in a parking yard, not a gas plant. The illegal gas facility's owners face calls for compensation and accountability.
