Though the fire has been contained, it was massive this morning. Nairobi was trending on twitter when I suddenly opened my feeds to see the blaze. It was the international terminal that was affected. The damage was extensive and could potentially affect the tourism and commerce of Kenya.

The airport will be closed indefinitely, the Interior Ministry tweeted. No flights were departing or arriving, and some flights were being diverted to other airports.

Fire engines were running dangerously low on water during early stages of battling the flames, the Interior Ministry tweeted. But by Wednesday afternoon, the fire had been contained.

Nothing has been ruled out, Kenyan government spokesman Muthui Kariuki said.

Security is being ramped up at the airport, said Josef Ole Lenku, Kenya's Cabinet secretary for interior and security.

#MEDIAIMAGES: POPE FRANCIS RELEASES DOVE ON I DAY I'M CALLING FOR PEACE IN NIGERIA.

Pope Francis frees a dove during his weekly general audience in St. Peter Square at the Vatican, Wednesday, May 15, 2013. As Francis toured the square in his open-topped popemobile at his Wednesday audience with the public, someone at the edge of the crowd thrust a white bird cage at him. Looking puzzled, his security detail took the cage, containing a pair of white doves, and handed it to Francis. Without hesitation, the pope opened the cage door, thrust a hand inside and extracted one dove, and with a flick of his hand, sent the bird flying over the square. (AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino)
