Bujumbura airport is still open but some airlines have canceled flights, an adviser to Burundi's president said on Friday, after gunmen attacked military bases in the capital in the early hours of the morning.

"Bujumbura airport is not closed but some airlines have canceled their flights to Bujumbura," presidential media adviser Willy Nyamitwe told Reuters in a brief message after Kenya Airways and RwandAir both scrapped scheduled flights.
