A high school in Seoul received an apparent fake bomb threat Monday that prompted a police search and school-wide evacuation drills, officials said.
Police officers were dispatched to the school in Seoul's northeastern ward of Nowon after receiving a report early in the morning of a social media post threatening to blow up the school at 2 p.m.
Police did not find any explosives after conducting a search before school hours.
The school held evacuation drills out of concerns such threats could reoccur.
