UK to pay $4M to Kenyan forest fire victims

The British government has agreed to pay almost $4 million to more than 7,000 Kenyans affected by a 2021 fire started during a military training exercise but won’t accept liability for the incident. Locals say the blaze caused lasting health problems, destroyed property, and damaged the environment.
