Kenyan security forces say they have taken control of all floors of the Nairobi shopping centre attacked by suspected al-Shabab militants.
An explosion and bursts of gunfire were heard coming from the complex on Tuesday morning as speculation grew that the operation was nearing its end.
Kenyan special forces were still battling "one or two" militants holed up on one of the upper floors, security sources told an AFP correspondent at the scene.
Between 12 and 15 militants stormed the Westgate centre on Saturday, throwing grenades and firing on shoppers and staff.
At least 62 people have been killed with more than 170 injured.
Meanwhile, Kenya's foreign minister said "two or three" Americans and a British woman were among the attackers.
