Dutch military police arrested over 200 activists who stormed Amsterdam’s airport and blocked private jets over concerns about the climate crisis.

Hundreds of Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace activists entered Schiphol Airport on Saturday, cycled around the private jet parking area and blocked aircraft. The protesters have committed a criminal offense, Dutch news agency ANP cited a spokesperson for the national military as saying.
