 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

A fire at a senior apartment complex in Bayonne, New Jersey, left one resident dead and injured several police officers.

The blaze erupted around 7:30 a.m. at the 11-story building on 537 Avenue A, with smoke seen billowing from the third floor, according to the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office. Firefighters discovered an unresponsive woman inside a bedroom and rushed her to Hudson Regional Hospital Bayonne, where she was pronounced dead. She was later identified as 82-year-old Irene Clark.

Three other residents and eight police officers were treated for smoke inhalation at the hospital, while four additional people received care at the scene. Residents evacuated to a nearby community center before being allowed back into the building later in the day.

Officials said the cause of the fire was not immediately known, and there was no indication of foul play. The Hudson County Regional Arson Task Force and the Bayonne Fire Department are conducting an ongoing investigation.
