At least 300 schools in Italy evacuated after receiving bomb threats via email

Over 300 schools in Italy were evacuated due to a bomb threat email, prompting a national security alert. Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara indicated that the threats are likely false, as the high number of affected schools suggests low credibility. The email was signed by 'Mikhail Andropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistán,' who previously claimed responsibility for similar threats in Ireland and Bulgaria. Security forces conducted thorough inspections without finding any explosives. This incident follows a series of hybrid threats in Italy, including false bomb alerts and cyberattacks, leading the government to enhance coordination among security agencies.
