UK man suffers burns at Prague Airport when fireworks go off in bag

The backpack of a UK citizen caught fire at Terminal 2 of Prague’s Václav Havel Airport on Tuesday morning, the police said. The incident was evidently caused by poor handling of fireworks and left the man with burns.

The area connecting the two terminals was closed for security reasons because of the incident, while private vehicles were prevented from entering the airport for some time.
