Alarms in thousands of Italian schools. Meloni convened an extraordinary meeting

Over six thousand Italian schools received a false email about bomb threats, prompting an emergency meeting led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. At least 300 schools were evacuated, and authorities are investigating the threats, which included a message signed by 'Mikhail Andropov'. Meloni stated that the threats do not pose a real danger, while Defense Minister Guido Crosetto described them as part of a strategy to spread fear. Similar threats were reported in schools across Scotland and Ireland, raising concerns about hybrid warfare and cyberattacks in Europe.
