Chisinau Airport Evacuated After Bomb Threat

Chisinau International Airport was evacuated on Sunday after a bomb threat was reported, according to the capital city's mayor's office.

Passengers were disembarked from aircraft and cleared from the terminal, while specialist units from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived on site to conduct a comprehensive search.

Trolleybus service in the vicinity of the airport has also been disrupted. The Chisinau Electric Transport Company announced that route number 30 will be diverted to Airport Street until further notice.

This incident follows a similar bomb threat that occurred at Chisinau International Airport on Saturday evening. Following a thorough search in that instance, the alert was determined to be a hoax. Airport operations resumed normal activity after the threat was deemed non-credible. An investigation has also been launched into the source of the latest threat.
