Flights at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport, a major cargo hub, were disrupted overnight after a sighting of a flying object was reported and another object was found near a runway. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
According to police on Wednesday, a flying object was sighted near the airport shortly before midnight. Several flights, including one passenger plane, were diverted to other airports as a result.
Police said an anti-explosives robot was deployed to check the other object near the airport's south runway, but they did not elaborate.
A police statement said flights using the other runway resumed shortly before 2 a.m., but the south runway remained closed Wednesday morning.
