NAIROBI, Kenya — Police in Kenya clashed with demonstrators Monday during the latest anti-government protests, killing 10 people, according to the state-funded human rights commission. Authorities blocked major roads leading into the capital, Nairobi, and most businesses closed amid the strictest measures yet to contain the unrest.

Six people are reported to have been killed after police in Nairobi opened fire on protesters. At least four people were fatally shot in the Ngong area and another two killed in the Kangemi area. More gunfire has been heard in the Githurai and Kiambu areas of the capital, as tensions remain high.
