Bulgaria: New Bomb Threat at a School in Sofia

A new bomb threat was made this morning at the 22nd school in Sofia. The learning process has been suspended.

"The signal was received at 6:30 a.m. in the 4th Police Precinct of the Ministry of the Interior. From there, they reacted immediately and contacted us. I came here. Thank God, there were still almost no children - ten had come for the first shift. We put out a message on the school's online platform to the parents and students. The police did a thorough search. They found nothing, but for the safety of the children, I have decided that we will lock down the school for 24 hours today. There will be no learning process.

The signal was given by a male voice. This is the first such signal in the 22nd school for almost 10 years, added Elena Karpacheva.
