A tense hostage situation persists at Hamburg Airport, Germany, with a 35-year-old man and a 4-year-old girl held captive inside a car parked under a plane. The ordeal began when the gunman breached security gates, firing shots and hurling burning bottles. Authorities suspect a custody battle, as the girl's mother alerted police about the abduction. Terminal buildings were evacuated, leading to the cancellation of 60 flights, affecting over 3,000 passengers. Negotiators and psychologists are on-site, working to resolve the situation as the standoff enters its 12th hour.
