A security alert in Russia led to the evacuation of four district courts in St. Petersburg and a university in Moscow on Friday, September 25, 2026.
The Kirovsky, Kalininsky, Oktyabrsky and Smolninsky District Courts were evacuated after receiving bomb threats. On the same day, staff and students at Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics were also removed from the building following a similar threat.
The university's press service announced that law enforcement authorities were investigating the threats. The institution later reopened, while some classes were moved online.
