A large fire at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International airport has forced one of East Africa's largest transport hubs to shut down, officials say.
"Apart from emergency landings, all flights into and out of JKIA have been cancelled, [the] airport has been shut down," said Mutea Iringo, a senior official at Kenya's interior and national coordination ministry, after the fire broke out on Wednesday morning.
