Russian Bomb Threat Hoaxes Disrupt U.S. Presidential Voting

Authorities attribute false bomb threats at polling stations to Russian interference, briefly affecting voting in key states.

The FBI reported multiple false bomb threats at polling stations across the U.S., with many traced back to Russian internet domains.
Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona were notably targeted, leading to temporary closures of some voting sites as a precaution.
Election officials in Georgia and Arizona confirmed the threats originated from Russia, amid heightened security measures nationwide.
The incidents are part of broader Russian disinformation efforts during the U.S. presidential election, aiming to undermine public trust.
Authorities have warned of increased foreign influence operations, with Russia identified as the most active threat in swing states.
