6,300 schools in Italy receive false bomb threat, also emails sent to schools in the UK and Ireland
Approximately 6,300 schools in Italy received false bomb threats via anonymous emails, with similar threats reported in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Initially, over 300 schools in Italy were evacuated, but many students were unaware of the situation. The Italian government monitored the threats, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stating there was no concrete danger. The anonymous email, allegedly from a group called 'Vilayat van Misoginistan', included threats against Meloni. While some European countries suspect Russia or Iran, Italy's Defense Minister Guido Crosetto suggested that individuals seeking attention could also be responsible.
