The huge fire that has forced the closure of Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport has disrupted flights across Africa.
Jomo Kenyatta airport is East Africa’s busiest and the continent’s hub.
It has reopened for cargo and domestic services, though many flights have been diverted to other regional airports.
The cause of the fire is not yet known. Security officials say they are waiting to inspect the damage before drawing any conclusions.
Kenya’s anti-terrorism chief, Boniface Mwaniki, said he did not believe the fire – which happened on the 15th anniversary of the bombings by al-Qaeda of the US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – was connected to terrorism.
"We don’t want to speculate, but at this stage we do not think there is any such link," he told the Reuters news agency.
