Police have found no bombs at the Leningradsky and Yaroslavsky train stations in Moscow which were evacuated earlier on Sunday following a bomb threat, a police spokesperson said.

The precautionary evacuation of passengers was ordered at the stations after an anonymous call at around 9 a.m. local time (0600 GMT) claimed that a bomb had been placed there.

The checks at the stations have found no explosive devices, the spokesperson said.

Police are continuing checks at the other train stations in the city, she added.

The train traffic has been unharmed by the incident. A search for the anonymous caller is ongoing. He could face up to three years in jail.

Moscow police have been put on high alert following the deadly terrorist blast at the capital's Domodedovo airport on January 24 which killed 36 people and injured dozens.

Last weekend, police in Moscow evacuated several shopping malls after receiving bomb threats.
