The blast then happened near a restaurant and a bus station. “We have slight injuries to the vendor, on the right hand, and slight injuries to the newspaper vendor on his right leg

A journalist at the scene said the police has prevented people from entering the crime scene as they are conducting a search near a metal handcart.

Islamist militants carried out an attack earlier this month which involved a suicide bomber and four gunmen and this lasted for almost 20-hour. The place under attack was the DusitD2 hotel and office complex in Nairobi.
