A plane belonging to an air ambulance service provider crashed in a residential area just outside Kenya’s capital on Thursday, killing at least six people, according to a local official and the aircraft’s owner. <\/p>\n

AMREF Flying Doctors said that the mid-size jet, a Cessna Citation XLS, took off from an airport in Nairobi and was heading to the territory of Somaliland when it crashed. <\/p>\n

The service provider didn’t provide the number of casualties or a possible cause, saying in a statement that it was \u201ccooperating fully with relevant aviation authorities and emergency response teams to establish the facts surrounding the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The plane crashed in the residential area of Mwihoko in Kiambu County, which shares a border with Nairobi. <\/p>\n

A local official, Kiambu County Commissioner Henry Wafula, told reporters at the scene that four people on board were killed in the crash. Two other victims were inside a house into which the plane crashed, he said. <\/p>\n

The Kenya Red Cross said that its rescue teams headed to the crash scene in Kiambu, a county that shares a border with Nairobi. Earlier, the Kenya Red Cross had said that the aircraft that crashed was a helicopter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
