People evacuated from stations in Moscow after bomb threats

Around 3,000 people, including passengers and staff, were evacuated from Kazansky, Leningradsky and Yaroslavsky railway terminals in Moscow amid threats of explosions, the agency said citing an emergency source.

"Phone calls warning of bombs at the Kazansky and Leningradsky railway stations prompted evacuations of thousands of people from each site. Further 750 people were evacuated from the Yaroslavsky station. We are waiting for explosive-sniffing dogs," RIA cited the source as saying.

The railway stations which were received the threat are close to each other and  are considered a key transport hub for thousands of people commuting to work in Moscow every day.
