10 people on Sunday sustained serious injuries after an aircraft they were traveling in crashed in the Kiunga area in Lamu County.
A video obtained by Kenyans.co.ke showed the light aircraft engulfed in flames, likely an effect of hitting the ground.
Reports indicated that the plane was ferrying a Kenya Defence Forces pilot and nine other officers attached to KDF when the incident happened.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and were working to put out the fire.
The plane which had just left the Kiunga Airstrip, hit electricity poles before crashing.
The wreckage of the aircraft, which landed on a palm tree-filled thicket, scattered all over the scene showing the severity of the tragedy.
In the clip, the aircraft parts could be seen still in flames amid efforts to put out the inferno were ongoing.
Meanwhile, the crash affected a significant portion of the area it landed on, including a ramshackle house situated within the vicinity.
The cause of the aircraft's accident, however, is yet to be established as investigations continue.
In an analogous scenario one month ago, two people sustained injuries after a KDF chopper crashed during takeoff at Wajir Airport.
The incident captured on a 31-second clip showed the chopper ascending before suddenly crashing right in front of a crowd that had gathered around it.
Following the crash, the victims were immediately rushed to Wajir County Referral Hospital where they were referred to Nairobi for specialised treatment.
