Moscow, Sep 3 (IANS): Over 3,000 people were evacuated on Thursday from an airport in Russia's capital city of Moscow after a small fire erupted in its premises.
More than 50 flights were delayed from the Domodedovo International Airport, EFE news reported.
The evacuation began as the airport was engulfed in a cloud of smoke, which resulted from a small fire in a warehouse of a subcontractor working at the site.

The exact cause of the fire was yet not known, but it is thought to have been caused by an electrical short circuit.
