A powerful earthquake hit central Africa on Monday in the Lake Tanganyika area.
The quake measured 6.8 on the Richter scale, and could be felt as far away as the Kenyan coast.
The quake, according to a UN spokesman in the Congolese town of Uvira, said the quake lasted 30 seconds. "The buildings shook quiet strongly. We have no reports of deaths so far," he said, according to the AP.
Workers in buildings in downtown Nairobi left their offices in a panic, according to local sources.
The quake was reportedly felt in Mombasa, on the coast of Kenya.
