Witnesses have reported explosions and heavy gunfire at a hotel complex in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
The suspected terror attack is unfolding at the complex, which houses a large hotel known as DusitD2, along with several banks and offices.
Police are said to be exchanging gunfire with the attackers in the operation.
Several cars have been seen on fire and people are being carried away from the scene in the Westlands neighbourhood of Nairobi.
Large plumes of smoke have also been seen rising from the area as scores of people have been reported injured.
One survivor of the attack said he sought refuge in a fridge and that he saw at least one dead body in the grounds of the DusitD2 hotel.
Another said he saw at least two bodies. He also said the attackers wearing green and were wrapped in ammunition.
Somali Islamist militant group al Shabaab has since said it is behind the attack and that its fighters were still inside the complex. (Sky News)
