At least four people were killed according to reliable information received from Mombasa, when an explosive device, thought to be a grenade, was thrown at a bus while passengers boarded the vehicle.

The explosion on the bus occurred at Mwembe Tayari in Mombasa and those injured were taken to local hospitals in Mombasa for treatment. It could not at this stage be confirmed if the grenade thrower was among those killed in the blast.

A second device did reportedly go off near a beach resort north of the city but with no injuries reported at this time.

Though information is sketchy it was reported that a suspicious looking bag was left near the main gate of the resort and when spotted did security personnel and employees take cover as it exploded.
