Paris CNN —Six airports in France were forced to evacuate on Wednesday for security reasons.
Lille airport in northern France said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the airport was being evacuated because of a bomb threat, with security operations on site.
CNN affiliate BFMTV reported, citing a police source, that the airports in Nantes and Beauvais, outside Paris, had also been evacuated for security reasons.
The venue was forced to evacuate on Tuesday due to a suspicious item, and over the weekend due to a bomb threat.
France raised its security alert level to the highest possible following a knife attack at a school in the northern city of Arras last week.
