Air travellers across Africa are facing long delays after a huge fire ripped through the main airport in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, forcing its closure. Hundreds of passengers have been left stranded outside Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). It has reopened for cargo and domestic services, though many flights have been diverted to other regional airports.
The Kenyan authorities say no casualties have been reported and that the blaze has been contained. The cause of the fire is not yet known. Security officials say they are waiting to inspect the damage before drawing any conclusions.
