[PHOTOS] KDF joins in search, rescue mission at Uthiru's collapsed building

Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops have arrived at the scene where a five-storey building collapsed in Uthiru, Nairobi on Tuesday evening.

The service members under the KDF Disaster Response Battalion joined the search and rescue mission on Wednesday. 

Earlier, officials said all the 34 tenants of the collapsed building had been located while others said they are yet to access the ground floor.

This prompted the rescue team to seek the help of the personnel who are said to have expertise.

Among others, the teams are using sniffer dogs for the mission.

Despite the building's collapse being attributed to heavy rains, officials said they are investigating the incident.
