European airport evacuated due to bomb threat
On a Sunday evening, Paris Orly Airport in France was the center of chaos as police evacuated the major international airport. One of the two main airports serving the French capital, Paris Orly was thrown into turmoil after a bomb alert was received by the national police service at around 6pm local time. The anonymous caller claimed that there was a bomb hidden in one of the airport's toilets. As a result, emergency evacuations were carried out at terminals two and three, with passengers and staff being ushered out of the building.

According to a police source who spoke to La Parisien, the caller stated that he had placed a bomb in the airport toilets. As a precautionary measure, specialist services, including dog squads, were called in to thoroughly search the premises. Meanwhile, videos posted on social media showed passengers leaving Paris Orly Airport as they were directed to safety.

This incident comes just days after another bomb scare at the same airport. On Wednesday night, a Transavia flight bound for Montpellier was delayed for hours before eventually being cancelled due to a bomb threat. However, it was later determined to be a hoax. These repeated threats have caused concern and disruption for both travelers and airport authorities.

As the situation at Paris Orly continues to unfold, authorities are working diligently to ensure the safety and security of all individuals at the airport. It is a top priority to thoroughly investigate and address any potential threats, while also minimizing the impact on travelers and the airport's operations.
