A homemade bomb has allegedly been uncovered on a bus in Moscow, the Moskva news agency reported Wednesday.
The bus had been traveling between Moscow and the Tula region town of Novomoskovsk, the agency reported, citing an unnamed source in the emergency services.
The vehicle was stopped on Orekhovy Bulvar in the south of the capital, where bomb disposal experts removed the device.
No one was hurt in the incident, Moskva reported.
Russia's Interior Ministry told the Ren television channel that it did not have any information on the incident.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
