Sunday, 20 September 2026, 06:23 · 1 min read

A student pilot and a flight instructor died on Friday after their small training aircraft crashed near wind turbines in Kipeto, a hilly area of Kajiado County southwest of Nairobi, Kenya. Police commander Maureen Kuto confirmed the crash, with witnesses telling the Associated Press that heavy morning mist had significantly reduced visibility in the area at the time. The crash occurred close to several local schools, with one resident noting that the incident could have caused a far greater tragedy given the number of children in the vicinity.
