This was reported by Pawel Khmura, a representative of the Warsaw Police Headquarters, in a comment to tvn24.pl.
The evacuation began shortly before 7 p.m. People were evacuated from departure terminals A and B, as well as from the arrivals area near entrance A1.
Border Guard pyrotechnicians arrived at the scene and are checking the abandoned luggage.
