Paris: Six airports across France were evacuated on Wednesday after “threats of attack” were received via emails, the latest in a series of similar threats in recent days.
The evacuations took place at Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Nice, Toulouse and Beauvais (near Paris) airports to allow authorities to “clear up any doubts” that the threats might be real, AFP reported quoting police sources.
A spokesman for France’s DGAC aviation authority confirmed evacuations over bomb warnings at Lille, Lyon, Toulouse and Beauvais airports.
According to Reuters, eight French airports — Toulouse, Biarritz and Pau in the south-west, Nice in south-east, Lyon in the east, Lille in the north, and Rennes and Nantes in western France — faced security alerts.
The Palace of Versailles, one of France’s top tourist attractions, was evacuated again after the third security scare in five days.
The airport threats followed other bomb threats in France since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 and the fatal stabbing of a teacher on October 13 by a man claiming allegiance to the Islamic State group.
