A shocking tragedy struck this afternoon when a military helicopter crashed into residential homes in Mwihoko, just outside Nairobi, leaving the neighborhood in flames and panic.
The incident occurred around 2:00 PM when the light military aircraft, reportedly experiencing technical trouble mid-air, plummeted into a cluster of houses in the Dagama area. Witnesses described the aircraft exploding while airborne before impacting the buildings. The resulting devastation left debris scattered across the scene, with onlookers visibly shaken by the blast.
Barely moments after the crash, residents rushed to aid survivors, while fire engines and medical personnel raced to the scene. The wreckage—engulfed in flames—emanated thick smoke, and crowds gathered in horror as they watched the rescue efforts unfold.
By the time military and emergency teams arrived, the scene had been quickly cordoned off. Military personnel took lead in extinguishing fires and managing the area, as frantic locals watched anxiously from the sidelines.
At this point, there is no official data on casualties. The full extent of damage to homes and potential human loss remains unknown as authorities continue rescue operations and preliminary inquiry.
This harrowing event has cast a dark shadow over a quiet community just beyond the city’s periphery. Mwihoko residents are reeling—not just from the physical destruction, but also from the chilling reality of how swiftly life can be upended by tragedy.
