Enhanced security measures are being enforced at the international business center in Moscow City, after warnings of a bomb-threat, a news report said.
"Yesterday, we received an anonymous call warning of a possible terrorist attack at the Moscow International Business Center on May 5-6," a representative of the City management company said, Interfax reported Tuesday.
"We have therefore introduced increased security measures, which are still in effect," the representative added.
Specialists and dog handlers are inspecting the premises at Moscow City, while checks are being carried out on all vehicles entering the territory, the representative said.
A planned fire drill was also carried out yesterday to test evacuation procedures, the representative added.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
