Explosion at a Nairobi airport
A powerful explosion at a Nairobi airport, in Kenya, has left two people injured and caused part of the roof of the departure terminal to collapse.
However, authorities say the blast appears to be an accident.
"We think that the explosion was caused by flammable substances at the customs storage section," Kenyan Government spokesman Alfred Mutua said.
"We don't think it was a bomb, because the explosion came from a Customs bonded warehouse where flammable materials are usually kept," Tourism and Information Minister Raphael Tuju, said.
Police have closed the airport, which is located on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital.
A police spokesman says the impact of the blast blew off a section of the building's tiled roof and sparked a fire, which was quickly extinguished by firefighters.
It also destroyed furniture, goods kept in the warehouse and shattered window panes inside the departure lounge, and sparked panic throughout the facility.
