Limited operations has resumed at Kenya’s biggest airport, after a major fire caused severe damage to one of East Africa’s busiest transit hubs.
The fire broke out before dawn in the immigration section of the arrivals terminal at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Firefighters from Nairobi’s City Fire Service, as well as the military and private companies, battled the fire for hours before bringing it under control. There was no reported loss of life, although two people were hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
Kenya's Secretary of the Interior Joseph Ole Lenku told reporters at the airport that minimal operations will resume, starting with outgoing cargo flights.
