Was on the MRT with the family this morning and noticed the police presence. After checking the local news, I understood the bomb was supposed to go off at 1:30pm today. Has anyone heard or read any updates from the local news?

After a false bomb threat on a Taiwan High-Speed Rail train that led to a full police search but no explosives found, authorities received another bomb threat targeting the Taipei MRT system, claiming a bomb would detonate at 1:30 p.m. today. In response, Taiwan Railways and metro authorities have raised security levels nationwide, especially at shared stations, and are maintaining heightened vigilance.
