Lenin Square metro station in Minsk reopened after inspection of suspicious object
In Minsk opened the metro station “Lenin Square”, which was temporarily closed after the discovery of an object similar to an external battery. The check is ongoing.
The incident at the Lenin Square metro station in Minsk, which occurred on the evening of September 18, has been completely eliminated. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee and the Minsk Metro, a suspicious object was examined, seized and does not pose a danger. Train traffic was restored: the station was reopened to passengers at 21:46, the capital's subway works as usual.
Previously, trains went through the station without stopping for technical reasons. The police received information about something similar to an external battery, which was discovered in time by metro officers. To ensure the safety of people, a protective dome was installed over the find.
At the scene promptly arrived employees of the Oktyabrsk police station, investigative and sapper-pyrotechnic group. Law enforcement officers established the identity of the owner of the left thing and find out the circumstances of the incident. The investigation into the incident continues.
During the closure, law enforcement officers urged citizens to remain calm and use ground transport if possible. The subway itself apologized to passengers for the inconvenience.
