Nairobi, Shawwal 14, 1439, Jun 28, 2018, SPA -- A fire swept one of Nairobi's largest open-air markets early Thursday, killing 15 people and sending 70 injured to hospitals, an official said. Young children were among the victims, AP quoted President Uhuru Kenyatta as saying in a statement, and many of the injured were in critical condition. Nairobi County Commissioner Kangethe Thuku said six bodies had been recovered and nine were in a building and had yet to be retrieved. Rescue teams searched for more bodies and survivors in the market in the Pumwani neighborhood in Kenya's capital. The cause of the fire was not immediately announced but "for now we have declared this site a crime scene," Thuku said. --SPA 03:30 LOCAL TIME 00:30 GMT 0037 www.spa.gov.sa/w709744
