Strasbourg, France: A Franco-Swiss airport was temporarily evacuated for security reasons on Friday, hours after arson attacks disrupted the French rail network ahead of the Olympics opening ceremony.
EuroAirport, located on the French side of the border near Basel, said on its website that it had reopened and flight operations were gradually restarting.
Earlier, the Basel-Mulhouse airport said that it had been evacuated and closed "for safety reasons".
Several French airports, including EuroAirport, had to be evacuated late last year due to a series of fake bomb threats.
EuroAirport welcomed eight million passengers in 2023.
