Twin blasts reported along Nairobi's Thika Road

Two separate explosions are reported to have gone off in two different buses plying Nairobi's Thika Road.

Both blasts occured along Thika superhighway with the first going off outside the Bluesprings Hotel and the second one at the Kasarani underpass.

The blasts were set off in two high capacity buses and an unknown number of casualties have been rushed to the Kenyatta National Hospital. The buses belong to Jeaan transporters and Mwi Sacco.

Both buses were travelling from town to Githurai and were filled to near capacity.

GSU and plainclothes are at the scenes of the blasts.

Reports of a third blast at the Hilton Hotel have been proved false.
