Lightning has killed five people in Tanzania’s western district of Kibondo in Kigoma region.
According to police reports five people including children were hit by lightning on Tuesday at 6 p.m. local time in Kibuye village, Xhinua reports.
“All the four children who were playing under a mango tree were from different families,” adding that the fifth victim, a woman, was hit by the lightning when she was farming on Tuesday evening.
The police official, therefore, urged parents and guardians not to allow their children to play under trees during the ongoing rains to avoid being hit by lightning.
