The Serdika Center Mall in Bulgaria's capital Sofia was temporarily closed over a bomb threat for a second day in a row on Monday.

A phone call was placed Monday on the emergency 112 hotline, alerting of a bomb at the mall.

A female voice called around 3:00 pm, according to the Interior Ministry.

The large building, located on Sitnyakovo boulevard, has been evacuated and police are checking the premises.

On Sunday, a similar bomb threat was received for the Serdika Center Mall, with police finding no trace of explosives.

Last week, another central mall in the capital, The Mall of Sofia, on Alexander Stamboliyski boulevard, received a bomb threat as well.
