Hundreds of passengers are still stranded at the main airport in Kenya's capital Nairobi after a massive fire ripped through the international arrivals hall and forced its closure.

 

　　The Kenyan government said no serious injuries were reported, but two people were treated for smoke inhalation.

 

　　Kenyan State House spokesperson Manoah Esipisu:

 

　　"Contingency measures have been put in place to stabilize the situation and to return the airport to normal operations. President Kenyatta wishes to reassure the entire aviation industry -- investors, local and international travelers, that everything is being done to resume normal operations."

 

　　Up to now, domestic and international cargo flights have resumed service at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

 

　　Kenya's Red Cross said flights were also being diverted to Dar es Salaam, Entebbe, Uganda and the Kenyan cities of Mombasa and Kisumu.

 

　　The fire broke out on the 15th anniversary of the US Embassy bombings in Nairobi and neighboring Dar es Salaam.

 

　　But Kenyan authorities said there shouldn't be any speculation before an investigation could determine if it was a militant attack.
