Britain's Home Office has confirmed that border control systems are operational again after a nationwide outage caused lengthy queues and chaotic scenes at airports. The issue, which was not a cyber attack, affected major airports including Heathrow, Stansted, and Gatwick. Border security was not compromised, and officials manually processed passports during the outage. Airports have confirmed that systems are now running normally, and no issues are expected for morning operations. Travellers experienced delays of around 90 minutes before the issue was resolved.
