Paphos school cleared after bomb threat call, nothing found
Police led pupils and teachers out of a Paphos school before midday on Wednesday following a phone warning about an explosive on the grounds. Searches have turned up nothing so far.
Pupils and staff were moved out of a school in Paphos on Wednesday morning after someone phoned in a warning about a bomb on the site, as reported by Cyprus Mail. Officers arrived and, working alongside teachers, led everyone off the grounds before starting to comb the buildings.
No explosive has been located in the search so far, and checks were still under way as the report was filed.
What it means for residents
Bomb warnings against schools force families into sudden pickups and unsettle children, even when the call turns out to be false. Until police give the all-clear, parents should keep an eye on messages from the school and avoid gathering at the gates, which can hinder the search.
- Pickup plans: be ready to collect children earlier than usual if the evacuation is extended.
- Stay reachable: keep phones on and follow updates from the school and police rather than rumours.
- Report anything odd: unusual calls or objects near school grounds are worth passing to the authorities.
