Nairobi, Kenya – The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has dispatched specialised rescue teams, canine units and equipment to Eastleigh after a building on 9th Street collapsed, according to a statement from Capital FM.
The incident, which occurred early this week, left several residents trapped under rubble. In response, the KDF mobilised its emergency response units to assist local authorities in locating survivors and clearing debris.
Canine units were deployed to search for missing persons, while heavy equipment was brought in to remove collapsed sections of the structure. The KDF’s involvement is part of a broader effort to provide rapid rescue and medical support to those affected by the collapse.
Local officials have not yet released a full casualty count, but the situation remains fluid as rescue teams continue to work through the site. The Eastleigh community is closely monitoring the operation as authorities assess the building’s structural integrity and plan further safety measures.
