Russian authorities have ordered security forces on high alert after receiving information from foreign officials pointing to the threat of a terrorist attack on public transportation, officials said Tuesday.
Authorities were checking information about the potential threat, they said.
A federal anti-terrorism headquarters received information “from foreign partners … about the possibility a subversive terrorist act could be committed on ground transport and in the metro,” according to a statement confirmed by a Federal Security Service official who said he was not authorized to give his name.
