A fire broke out in a wildlife conservancy in Kenya during an exercise by British troops stationed in the country, the British army said.

“We can confirm that there has been a fire during a UK-led exercise in Kenya and that investigations are ongoing,” a spokesman for the British army said in a statement late on Thursday.
