Crime in the Czech capital fell by nearly 10 percent last year to its lowest level in 15 years, Prague police spokesman Jan Daněk said on Thursday. Officers recorded 34,853 offences in the Czech capital, down 9.3 percent year-on-year. About 27 percent of cases were solved, roughly the same rate as the previous year.

Repatriation flight lands in Prague overnight with citizens from Oman.

Another government repatriation flight carrying Czech citizens affected by the current Middle East conflict landed in Prague overnight. A military Airbus with capacity for more than 90 passengers brought travellers from Muscat in Oman, the Foreign Ministry said. A smaller military aircraft sent earlier to Oman had to turn back to Egypt because Muscat airport was congested.
