KRASNOYARSK, August 13 (RIA Novosti) – Flights from Moscow have been diverted at Krasnoyarsk’s Yemelyanovo airport in southern Russia after it received a bomb warning, the airport’s press office told RIA Novosti Wednesday.
“We’ve received a message – I don’t know whether it was a phone call or a written notice – saying that a bomb had been planted in the building. People are being evacuated at the moment. Airport and transport police services are searching the premises,” Krasnoyarsk airport’s press secretary Ksenia Kvitkovskaya said.
"All in and out flights at the airport have been stopped", she added.
An earlier report said that two flights from Moscow had been unable to touch down in Krasnoyarsk due to a dense fog over the airfield.
“One flight from Domodedovo [airport] was redirected to Novosibirsk’s Tolmachyovo, while the second landed at the Abakan airfield in the Khakassia [republic],” Kvitkovskaya said.
According to the press secretary, dense fog delayed flights from Krasnoyarsk bound for Yakutiya, Igarka and Moscow.
