    Doha, Jun 10 (PTI) At least five Indian nationals, residing in Qatar, were killed after their bus met with an accident in Kenya, where they were on a holiday, the Embassy of India in Doha said on Tuesday.

    "A group of 28 Indians from Qatar were visiting Kenya, where their bus met with an unfortunate road accident yesterday," the mission said in a post on X.

    As per available information, five Indian nationals have lost their lives in the accident, it said.

    Officials from the High Commission of India in Nairobi are on the ground and extending all help, it added.

    "We are deeply saddened by the tragic road accident on Ol Jororok-Nakuru Road in Nyandarua County, in which 5 Indian nationals have lost their lives," the High Commission of India in Nairobi posted on X.

    "Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. We pray for the swift recovery of the injured. The consular team from the High Commission is on the ground and is in close contact with the local authorities to extend all necessary support. We can be reached at +254 734916532," it added.
