More than a hundred passengers were evacuated from the Vitebsk-Smolensk train

April 4, Vitebsk /BELTA/. A train was "mined" in the Liozno district over the weekend, the head of the Vitebsk Department of Internal Affairs for Transport, Sergey Stelmakh, told a BELTA correspondent. The call about mining the Vitebsk-Smolensk train was received by the duty line "102" on April 2 at 3:20 PM, when the train departed from Liozno station. The unknown person reported that there were two bombs on the train. An emergency evacuation of over 110 passengers in four carriages was carried out a few minutes later on a siding at the Chernitsy stopping point. During the inspection of the train, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and a sapper group found no explosives. The delay in the movement of the diesel train was almost 1.5 hours. Police quickly identified the suspect "well-wisher." He turned out to be a 44-year-old resident of Vitebsk. A criminal case has been initiated based on this fact under Part 1 of Article 340 of the Criminal Code of Belarus ("Knowingly false report of danger"), which provides for up to five years of imprisonment. An investigation is underway. -0-
