All the passengers were today evacuated from the Chisinau International Airport after a person called the police at 7:10am and said that an explosive device had been planted in the building. The information was confirmed for IPN by Raisa Novitski, press officer of the Border Police.
Employees of the Border Police immediately informed all the entities that provide services at the airport for these to step up the security measures. The specialized services, including a bomb squad, were dispatched to the scene, the Border Police noted in a press release.
Measures are being taken to identify the caller.
Update /10:32am/ The bomb scare at the airport turned out to be a hoax. The Chisinau International Airport border crossing point now works as usual.
