Terminal 1 at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) has been reopened after a hazardous materials incident was triggered on Thursday night, prompting the evacuation of the building.

"The police operation has ended," an airport spokesperson said.

The closure and evacuation was prompted by a report from a woman who allegedly told federal police she was carrying toxic substances in her handbag.
