Bomb threat at the airport in the capital of Kyrgyzstan

On August 22, the Manas International Airport in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, was in a state of tension due to a bomb threat. At 11:45 local time, the airport duty personnel received a report that a bomb had been placed in the airport. Subsequently, the Kyrgyzstan Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly sent people to the scene and set up a working group to conduct an investigation.

The Manas International Airport is located in the north-central part of Chuyskaya Oblast, more than 20 kilometers away from the center of Bishkek. It is the largest airport in Kyrgyzstan. After receiving the bomb threat, the airport immediately entered a state of emergency and evacuated people urgently. Law enforcement officers and the bomb disposal team quickly conducted a comprehensive inspection of the scene. After careful investigation, no explosives were found. At present, the airport has resumed normal operation, and arrival and departure flights have not been delayed as a result.

At present, the relevant departments of Kyrgyzstan are making every effort to trace the source of the reported information, but there are currently no more clues. It is worth mentioning that this is the second bomb threat in Chuyskaya Oblast within 30 days. On July 22, the internal affairs department of the oblast received an email stating that remote-controlled bombs had been placed in all courts in the region. Later, after the police investigated, it was confirmed that it was just a false alarm. This airport bomb threat incident has once again aroused people's concerns about public safety, and at the same time highlighted the rapid response ability and responsibility of relevant departments in dealing with emergencies.
