An unknown caller contacted the police in Snezhnogorsk and reported a bombing at a school in Polyarny. Law enforcement officers immediately arrived at the institution. Together with the school administration, they evacuated students and staff.

After inspecting the premises, it became clear that there were no dangerous devices. It was revealed that a 14-year-old student of the school had called the police. He did this because he did not want to write a test. A criminal case has been initiated for knowingly false reporting of an act of terrorism.
