At least 15 people died after a large fire engulfed a market in Kenyan Nairobi capital. More than 50 people were left injured by the flames, which broke out in the middle of the night, destroying many goods.

Gicombya is one of the biggest markets in the city, and fires are frequent, leading to speculation that arson is intentional, reports Standard newspaper.

However, the cause of the fire is not yet known. Some of the victims were burned, while others smoked poisonous smoke while trying to save their goods. The wounded were taken to the hospital.
