Protesters glue themselves to the ground at Cologne-Bonn Airport in Germany

CLIMATE activists glued themselves to the ground at Cologne-Bonn Airport in western Germany today, forcing the suspension of flights, authorities said.

Police said that five people glued themselves to a taxiway at the airport, German news agency dpa reported. The protesters were soon removed. 

The Last Generation activist group said in a statement that supporters in several small groups cut through the perimeter fence, approached the airport and then glued themselves to the asphalt with a mixture of sand and glue.
