Hundreds of schools in Europe targeted by bomb threats, according to the police these are fake messages

Numerous schools across Europe received bomb threats via email, which authorities have deemed false but disruptive. In Italy, hundreds of schools were evacuated, while many in the UK and Ireland opted not to evacuate after police assessed the threats as not credible. Italian Prime Minister Meloni stated there was no concrete threat, yet the frequency and geographical spread of the threats suggest a coordinated effort rather than isolated incidents. This follows a series of similar threats affecting various sectors, including media and aviation, across multiple European countries.
