Fokker 50 shuts down HKJK runway

A Fokker 50 travelling from HWJK (Wajir) to HKJK (JKIA Nairobi) has closed down the only runway at the airport after it made a belly landing. The aircraft's landing gear seem to have jammed and the plane was evacuated upon landing with 6 people on board. No casualties were seen. Emergency services at the airport sprayed runway 06 with foam to prevent a fire.
All flights into the airport have been diverted to HKMO (Moi International Airport, Mombasa with no word from the Airport Authority on when the runway will be reopened.
