An eight-storey building under construction at Barani in Malindi Town collapsed at dawn on Friday.
The building which housed people in its lower floors fell on adjacent residential houses and a petrol station.
It is unclear what caused the building to collapse, though some blamed heavy rains have pounded the region in the past two days causing floods.
Disaster management units on location say there are an unknown number of people trapped under the rubble.
More to follow.
