Albania’s capital Tirana International Airport suffered only superficial damage from the huge explosion that levelled a nearby arms storage facility over the weekend.

The explosion, said to have destroyed hundreds of surrounding buildings and to have resulted in at least nine fatalities, occurred at around 12:10 on 15 March in the Gerdec region, which lies some 5km west of the airport.
