An Uzbek man was arrested in St. Petersburg, Russia, for making a false report about a terrorist attack, according to "Komsomolskaya Pravda."
On June 3, St. Petersburg police received a threatening message from an unknown person claiming he intended to blow up the Ministry of Internal Affairs building on Moiseenko Street.
