Incident Details

Hoax bomb threats in Mumbai on September 5 have led to evacuations and a visible increase in security around schools, transportation hubs, hospitals, and hotels. These incidents have caused evacuations and travel delays, despite no explosives being recovered. Further threats are likely amid the Hindu Ganeshotsav festival running through October, though these events are more likely to be hoaxes rather than actual attacks.
