Parts of Frankfurt Airport have been evacuated and are closed to the public, as police conduct an operation. Rumors of a bomb or gun threat have circulated online, though those reports were not confirmed.
Frankfurt Airport’s Terminal 1, as well as its attached regional train station, was closed on Saturday evening, as the airport’s police service launched an otherwise undescribed “operation.”
State and federal police are involved in the operation, and the airport police wrote on Twitter that one piece of abandoned luggage had been investigated and found to be safe.
Little else is known about the operation, and as crowds left the airport, rumors of a bomb or gun threat did the rounds on social media.
Police have warned passengers to follow the instructions of airport security, while airport authorities have warned travelers of potential delays.
