Iryna Nebesna, the Institute of Mass Information’s regional representative in Ternopil oblast, received several emails with bomb threats on 30 January.
She said that two letters of nearly identical content were sent to her personal email address: they featured claims about a planted explosive device and a list of addresses. Neither of the letters mentioned buildings in the oblast. Most of the listed addresses were in Kyiv.
The letters claimed to have planted bombs in two Ukrainian embassies abroad and news outlets in a neighboring oblasts, but the listed addresses were incorrect.
National Police departments in 22 oblasts received over 2,000 bomb reports on 30 January.
