"Anonymous reports on bomb threats were received by a total of 131 premises, about 35,000 people were evacuated," the representative said.

According to the representative, 93 out of more than 200 allegedly mined facilities in Moscow and the regions of Central Russia have already been inspected, and in none of the cases the threat was confirmed.

Another wave of reports about bombs planted in administrative buildings and social facilities erupted in Russia in January, affecting the territory from the country's Far East to Central Russia. All reports were false, and in some cases it was found that the calls were from abroad.
