Nairobi (AFP) - Three Kenyan students were injured Monday as they fled after hearing gunshots fired during a security drill, thinking it was a real attack, the Red Cross said.
Kenya Red Cross spokeswoman Anolda Shiundu said there were three "casualties from the drill, one of them critical."
Police said it was just a security exercise, but images showed terrified students standing on window ledges at Strathmore University, close the centre of the capital Nairobi.
Kenya has seen several attacks launched by Al-Qaeda-linked and Somali-led Shebab insurgents in recent years.
They include an April massacre at Garissa university in which 148 people were killed, and a 2013 assault on Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall that killed 67.
