This was reported by the head of the communications sector of the Main Directorate of the National Police of Ukraine in the Sumy region, Elvira Biganova.
According to her, on October 31 at 18.50 an anonymous call was received that the theater auditorium was allegedly mined.
“At about 19:00, after the second bell, which was supposed to announce the start of the concert, the police blocked the entrance to the second floor of the theater building, forced everyone to remove their outerwear and leave the theater. Police officers, SBU officers, as well as dog handlers with dogs worked in the building. For almost two hours, law enforcement officers tried to find the explosive device, but, having found nothing, they allowed the evacuated artists and spectators to return. The concert was only able to start at 20.45,” she said.
Let us remember that earlier on social networks nationalists accused Loboda of giving concerts in Russia.
