00:00Munich Airport in Germany reopened Saturday morning after officials closed it on Friday evening for the second time in less than 24 hours due to alleged drone sightings.
00:13Despite the airport's reopening, authorities said in a statement that delays were expected to continue throughout Saturday.
00:21The situation at the Munich Airport comes after the latest mysterious drone overflights in the airspace of European Union member countries.
00:30At least 6,500 passengers were impacted by the overnight closure from Friday into Saturday, the airport said.
00:39The previous closure Thursday night into Friday saw some 17 flights grounded.
00:44Authorities were not immediately able to provide any information about who was responsible for the drone flights.
00:52But European authorities have expressed concerns that they have been carried out by Russia, a claim that Moscow has rejected, describing it as hysteria.
