(about 2 hours later)
Hundreds of people have been evacuated from five major railway hubs in Russia’s capital as police are reportedly checking on threats of a terror attack involving explosives, amid tightened security at train stations throughout Europe due to similar warnings. Police evacuated over a thousand people from five of Moscow’s major railway hubs on Tuesday night after an apparently false bomb threat was received. It comes amid tightened security at train stations in the wake of recent terror attacks.
More than 1,200 people have been led out of the railway stations in central Moscow, TASS reports citing a source in emergency services. No explosives were found at any of the stations, a source in emergency services confirmed to RIA Novosti.    “We finished checking all five railway stations at 3:11 am (00:11 GMT). The threat has not been confirmed,” the source said.
The evacuated stations include the Kursky, Belorussky, Leningradsky, Kazansky and Yaroslavlsky Stations.
