Police in Yekaterinburg, a Russian city of nearly 1.4 million people in the Ural Mountains, evacuated at least 150 people from Koltsovo Airport following reports that a bomb had been discovered, RIA Novosti reported.

"We have arrived and we are still on board the plane. They are searching for a bomb at the Koltsovo airport. There are many children of all ages inside the aircraft," a tweet said.
