Double Bomb Threat Forces Eiffel Tower Evacuation

The Eiffel Tower in Paris was evacuated twice on Saturday due to bomb threats, with tourists being cleared from the tower and its surroundings for over two hours each time. The tower reopened after the first evacuation but was evacuated again later in the evening. The monument spokesperson stated that this is a rare but usual procedure in such situations. The Eiffel Tower, a popular tourist attraction, welcomed over 5.8 million visitors in 2022.
