At least 11 vehicles were damaged after a perimeter wall collapsed into a garage in Kilimani following heavy rains that lashed Nairobi overnight on Saturday.
The incident occurred along Kilungu Road, where several vehicles had been parked for repairs at the time of the collapse.
Police said the neighboring wall gave way and collapsed into the garage, causing significant damage to the vehicles inside.
The Kilungu Road collapse was linked to the heavy overnight rainfall, which affected parts of Nairobi and is believed to have weakened the structure.
No injuries were immediately reported, but property damage was confirmed at the scene.
Authorities responded to the incident and began assessing the extent of the damage, as reported.
