Italy evacuates few schools in second day of bomb threats

A small number of Italian schools were evacuated again on November 12 due to hoax bomb threats, following a similar incident the previous day. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reassured the public that the threats were not credible and urged schools not to evacuate. Despite the alerts sent to thousands of schools, many resumed classes shortly after. French President Emmanuel Macron noted it was premature to determine if foreign entities were involved in these threats. The emails, allegedly from hacked accounts, were signed by 'Mikhail Andropov' and aimed to create panic. Authorities are investigating the situation amid concerns of a broader hybrid warfare campaign.
