Moscow railway station terminals evacuated after bomb threats

Up to 3,000 passengers and staff members were evacuated from Kazansky, Leningradsky and Yaroslavsky railway terminals in Moscow amid explosion threats, an emergency services source told RIA Novosti on Boxing Day.

Phone calls warning of bombs at the Kazansky and Leningradsky railway stations prompted evacuations of a thousand of people from each site.

“750 people were evacuated from the Yaroslavsky station. We are waiting for explosive-sniffing dogs,” the source said.

The three railway stations are located very close to each other and serve as a key transport hub for thousands of people commuting to work in Moscow every day.
