KALININGRAD, July 31 (Itar-Tass) - The international airport in Kaliningrad resumed operation at two o’clock on Thursday morning after an emergency on Wednesday night. Twelve flights, including international ones, were delayed after a suspicious plastic bag had been found at the entrance to the airport building.

Elena Penkovskaya, the press secretary of the “KD AVIA” aviation company, told Itar-Tass that passengers and public servants had been evacuated to safety.

A special remote-controlled robot shot the suspicious bag. It turned out that the bag contained stones from Kaliningrad’s Baltic Sea coast, Pavel Yurchenko, the press service head of the western interior department for transport, told Itar-Tass.
