Following a series of “almost simultaneous” warnings that shopping centers, railway stations and university buildings in Moscow had been rigged with explosives, authorities ordered the evacuation of more than 10,000 people on Wednesday.
‘Twenty sites are currently being evacuated, and more than 10,000 people have been escorted out, though the specific number is still being confirmed,’ an emergency services source told news agency Tass.
‘This appears to be a case of telephone terrorism, but we have to check the credibility of these messages,’ said the source, who noted that the calls began at the same time, and continued after the evacuations had begun.
