Bomb threat: Two schools in Bishkek cordoned off

On the morning of December 9, police in Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek received reports claiming that explosives had been planted in Schools No. 10 and No. 62.

The Bishkek City Police Department confirmed the alerts. Investigative teams, patrol units, and rapid-response crews were dispatched to the schools. Staff and students were evacuated, and the areas were secured while authorities carried out inspections, Caliber.Az reports, citing Kyrgyz media.

The reports follow a similar false alarm on December 8, when calls were received about alleged explosives in the “Narodny,” “Globus,” “Dostor,” and “Spar” retail chains. Investigations confirmed those claims were unfounded.
