Suspicious item found in South Terminal Area at Miami International Airport in Florida
MIAMI, Fla. — Hundreds of passengers were evacuated from Miami International Airport on Sunday after a suspicious item was reported inside one of the airport’s terminals, prompting a significant security response and temporary closures, according to officials and local media.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the incident occurred in the airport’s South Terminal.
In response, authorities shut down Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening checkpoints serving Concourses G, H, and J, along with the adjacent curbside roadway, while law enforcement investigated the situation.
Witnesses described a sudden moment of panic inside the terminal.
Eugene Katchalov, who was preparing to proceed through security, said he heard a loud “pop,” followed by passengers rushing toward exits.
In a social media post, Katchalov said the evacuation expanded rapidly, with large numbers of people being directed outside. He estimated that thousands of travelers were gathered outside the terminal area during the response.
Another eyewitness, Patrick Emad, reported that passengers were instructed by authorities to move as far away from the building as possible as a precaution.
Video footage circulating on social media showed large crowds assembled outside the terminal as the evacuation continued, with law enforcement maintaining a visible presence.
Airport operations in the affected areas were temporarily disrupted during the investigation.
Authorities have not released details regarding the nature of the suspicious item, and no injuries were immediately reported.
The situation remains under review, and officials said additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
