SEOUL: Following a spate of bomb threats across South Korea, most of which turned out to be hoaxes, police say they are confronting the challenge of treating every report as a potential real danger while facing heightened public anxiety.
Between July 4 and Aug 11, eight bomb threats were reported to authorities, seven of which were made over the course of one week. All were determined to be false after police inspections.
