Four roads are closed around the Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya as police and security forces work on completely subduing the terrorist group inside.

Forces Lane, Peponi Road, Mwanzi Road, and Ring Road Parklands (see the map) are closed, according to Kenya’s Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government.

“Only emergency services allowed. Stay away for your own safety,” it said via Twitter

The attack on the mall has killed at least 65 people so far, including three of the gunmen who entered the mall on Saturday and began shooting people, according to Kenyan authorities.
