Hotel searches

The hotels that were sent bomb threat emails on Saturday were thoroughly searched by police teams. The searches were done with extreme caution, and no explosives or suspicious materials were found. The hotels have returned to normal, and guests can be safe and secure.

Investigation underway

Investigations into how the bomb threats were sent have not been finished yet. Detectives are endeavoring to capture the culprits and what their reasons could be behind causing such a fuss. Authorities urge citizens to maintain calmness and continue their work as usual when investigations are on.

Public advisory

The government is appealing to the public to be observant and report anything suspicious to the authorities. The public should exercise caution and refrain from spreading panic and false information.
