A massive explosion at a gas refilling plant in Embakasi has claimed the lives of 3 people, and caused injury to nearly 300.<\/p>\n

As of Friday morning, the injured were being treated in various hospitals in the city, with Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital taking in the bulk of them.<\/p>\n

Initial reports said that the origin of the explosion may have been a lorry that was loaded with gas cylinders. According to the government spokesman, a flying gas cylinder hit a godown that deals with textiles, which caused a huge fireball followed by several other blasts.<\/p>\n

Several vehicles, houses and businesses closest to the blast were destroyed. The estate also suffered a blackout.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos and videos showing the devastation that was witnessed at Mradi Village.<\/p>\n
