The main road to the airport of the Syrian capital Damascus has been closed and some flights there have been suspended, amid reports of fierce fighting in the area, rebel groups say.
The rebels said there were clashes all along the road, and mortars had been fired at the airport runway.
Emirates Airlines and Egypt Air cancelled flights to Damascus because of the “deteriorating situation”.
The clashes came as internet and mobile phone systems in the country went down.
