The Eiffel Tower in Paris has been evacuated following a telephone bomb threat Sunday. 

It is the third time the site has been evacuated this year. It was evacuated March 30 and August 9 due to bomb threats.

It was also closed June 18 for a couple of hours when someone threatened to commit suicide, according to France 24.  

More to come.
