There was a message about the mining of eight district courts in Moscow, they said on Thursday, February 24, to Izvestia in the press service of the Moscow City Court.
Court hearings have been suspended. Some of them carry out the evacuation of employees and visitors.
The Moscow City Court and the Supreme Court of Russia are working as usual, the Moscow City Court stressed.
On February 20, a warning for Americans in Russia about possible attacks in crowded places appeared on the official website of the US diplomatic mission. The publication emphasized that large cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as areas along Russia’s border with Ukraine, pose the greatest danger.
On the same day, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, turned to the embassy with a demand to explain this publication, and also asked if information about a possible threat had been transmitted to the Russian side.
The Kremlin called the publication at least unusual. The message was also commented on by former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul. He noted that he could not remember such warnings ever appearing, except for the case when there was a demonstration at the American residence and people were advised to avoid visiting the area.
Jason Rebholz, a spokesman for the American diplomatic mission, noted that the published warning for Americans that terrorist attacks are allegedly possible in a number of Russian cities is associated with a wave of false mines.
Since the beginning of the year, a wave of evacuations of educational institutions has swept through the regions due to reports of alleged mining. Thus, on January 21, anonymous reports of mining were received by schools in Sevastopol. As a result, classes in educational institutions were urgently canceled. The head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that information about the mining of the educational institutions of the peninsula came from abroad.
On January 20, schools in Chelyabinsk received false reports of mining. Police later said no explosive devices or other threats were found. On January 12, due to such reports, 151 schools were evacuated, as well as a number of universities in Yekaterinburg.
