Kenyans have been cautioned to stay indoors as the ministry set up a multi-agency technical team to monitor the situation.
This comes as the war in Khartoum escalate into a humanitarian catastrophe after forces commanded by two previously allied leaders of Sudan’s ruling council began a violent power struggle last weekend.
So far, at least 330 people have been killed as the conflict rages and property of unknown value destroyed.
