Armenia: Authorities evacuate and close all Yerevan Metro stations due to bomb threat July 20

Event

Authorities have evacuated and subsequently closed all Yerevan Metro stations July 20 in response to an anonymous bomb threat against an unspecified station. All Metro services have been suspended.

Disruptions will continue while police conduct their investigations. Increased demand for alternative transport is likely, leading to possible crowding and a reduction in availability. Lingering disruption is likely once services resume as transport schedules and passenger flows return to normal.

Advice

Heed all instructions from security services. Reconfirm public transport schedules before beginning journeys and allow extra time for travel. Make alternative transport arrangements if necessary.
