| Anti-terrorist bomb squad experts have been called to a post office in Russia to make a package safe after a strange ticking sound was heard, local police say.
But all they found was a vibrator.
The incident took place on Monday at Petrozavodsk in the north-west republic of Karelia and followed a call from a postal worker who had identified a suspect package, a police spokeswoman said.
"The post building was ringed by the security forces and people were evacuated," she said.
"In the package the bomb squad found a vibrator."
The sex toy had apparently been turned on "by accident".
Nerves are on edge in Russia after 37 people died in an attack on the Domodedovo Airport near Moscow in January. Two suicide bombers killed 40 people in the Moscow metro in March last year.
False bomb scares and evacuations have since affected commercial centres, stations and other public places.
