A bomb scare led to the shutdown of Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls Airport on Friday, prompting President Edson Mnangagwa to cancel his planned address at a renewable energy conference. The president had to suspend his trip for ongoing investigations following reports of a bomb threat targeting Zimbabwe’s airports. Airport authorities were alerted by Fastjet airline about an email from an unidentified sender claiming a credible threat.
Security measures have been heightened in response to the threat, with authorities urging the public to remain calm as investigations continue. While Zimbabwe is generally peaceful and its ports of entry are well secured, the potential for terrorist attacks is taken seriously.
