Minsk street closed for an hour due to bomb scare


Deminers were busy working in Dalhabrotskaya street in Minsk due to suspicion aroused by a dark bag lying on the street.

Sappers arrived at the scene and cordoned off the section of the street with a questionable item.

As the Minsk-News agency correspondent learned from the press officer of the police department Natallia Hanusevich of the Partyzansky rayon police department, the “suitcase” was nothing more than a cardboard box wrapped in plastic. It presented no danger.

Belarus has been experiencing a wave of false mining. On Friday,  November 13, on the eve of Paris terrorist attacks, Mahiliouskaya metro station was temporarily closed in Minsk. Deminers were called at the scene. Their assistance was also needed a day earlier in Salihorsk and Navayelnya where they were looking for explosive devices in the store and the bread factory.

On October 31, the Russian plane A321 crashed in Egypt killing 224 persons on board. The collected evidence shows that it was a terrorist attack that the ISIS took responsibility for. Representatives of the terrorist organization pledged to perform new attacks to avenge Russia for taking part in the Syria conflict.
