The domestic terminal of Nepal’s Tribhuvan International Airport was evacuated on Wednesday after a phone call indicating the presence of a “suspicious object” planted within the terminal was received, according to airport officials. According to ANI, a search for the suspicious object is currently underway.

According to news agency OnlineKhabar, airport chief Prem Nath Thakur stated that the bomb call was a hoax and that security officials found nothing suspicious.

Domestic services have also restarted following the all-clear. According to an official speaking to the Nepalese news outlet Nepal News, airport officials got a call from an anonymous individual who stated that there were 5–6 explosives at the domestic terminal.
