Hamburg Airport in Germany was evacuated and all departures were cancelled on Friday morning due to what police are calling a 'security situation.'
Authorities cleared the security area at the major European aviation hub, according to local media reports. The specific nature of the incident that led to the suspension of flights remains unclear. German news outlet Bild reported that officers referred to a 'police situation' at the airport.
Numerous travellers took to social media to share their experiences. One passenger, Olivier Marschalik, posted: 'They have just evacuated all passengers that were past security at Hamburg Airport. No explanations beyond 'security reasons.''
This is a developing story. More details are expected as the situation unfolds.
