The Moldovan Interior Ministry said that authorities received a phone call today saying that something that looked like an explosive material was in front of a building in the Posta Veche neighborhood in Chisinau.
A bomb squad was sent to the location and concluded that no explosives were present.
Chisinau inhabitants have been reeling from a grenade detonation during a concert downtown on Wednesday, which hurt about 40 people. Police have not yet apprehended any suspects, and released the one person that was detained shortly after the explosion.
Bomb threats have become increasingly common in the last year or so, particularly in Chisinau. During this period, such threats were made at the Chisinau airport, at the Press House downtown (where a lot of media outlets have their headquarters), and the Antena C radio station.
In a related news story, the person who recently called in a bomb threat at the Antena C radio station was caught today. He said that he got very drunk and decided to play a joke on the radio station, whose "avid fan" he is.
