Classes were cut short on Thursday at a school in Russia’s Far East, as a terrifying message emerged online threatening a repeat of a bloody assault that left seven students and two teachers dead in the city of Kazan this week.
The mayor of Blagoveshchensk, which is located across the Amur river from China, issued a statement on Thursday warning the public. Oleg Imameev said,
“School No. 27 has been alerted to an emergency situation. An inspection is underway and all state services are working on the issue,” adding,
“Children have been sent home for the time being, and the situation is completely under control.” He urged people to avoid speculation.
