Moscow: Plan "Carpet" Implemented in Three Airports
Enhanced Security Measures in Response to Heightened Threat Level
Additional Personnel Deployed, Surveillance Tightened
In response to elevated security concerns, Moscow has activated Plan "Carpet" in three of its major airports. The plan entails deploying additional security personnel, intensifying surveillance, and implementing stricter screening procedures. The move comes amid heightened concerns over potential terrorist threats.
According to airport authorities, the decision to activate Plan "Carpet" was prompted by increased intelligence suggesting a heightened risk of terrorist activity. The airports affected by the measures are Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, and Vnukovo.
Under Plan "Carpet," the number of security personnel patrolling the airports has been significantly increased. These officers are tasked with conducting thorough checks of passengers and their belongings, as well as monitoring suspicious activity. Surveillance cameras have also been deployed throughout the terminals, providing real-time monitoring of all areas.
In addition to the increased security presence, enhanced screening procedures have been implemented. Passengers can expect more rigorous baggage checks, including the use of X-ray machines and metal detectors. Random pat-downs and body searches may also be conducted.
The activation of Plan "Carpet" is a precautionary measure aimed at safeguarding the safety of passengers and airport personnel. The authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to security officials.
