PRAGUE, Nov ‌5 (Reuters) - Four airplanes heading ​to ‌Prague received bomb ‌threats on Thursday and police ‌were preparing for their landing, Czech police said ⁠on X, ‌adding they assessed ⁠the credibility of ​the threats as low.

"Nevertheless, we ​are not ​underestimating ‌the threat, which ​is why ⁠all necessary ‌security measures ​have ​been activated with minimal impact on passengers and airport ‌operations," police said. "After landing, ‌all aircraft ​will undergo pyrotechnic inspections."
