Authorities responded quickly to the unidentified aerial objects, which prompted the airport to suspend all flights as a safety precaution.
As a result of the closure, 15 scheduled flights were canceled, and 17 others were diverted to alternative airports. The shutdown affected travelers and airlines alike, causing delays and logistical challenges. The airport authorities are currently investigating the source of the drones and working with law enforcement to ensure safety and resume normal operations.
