Italy evacuates hundreds of schools after receiving email bomb threats

On Wednesday, over 300 schools in Italy were evacuated due to bomb threats received via email. The alerts raised security concerns amid fears of hybrid warfare in Europe. Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara confirmed the evacuations and indicated that the number of affected schools might increase. One school in Rome reassured parents that students were moved to safe areas under supervision. The email threat was attributed to an individual claiming to be Mikhail Andropov from a fictitious group. Investigations are ongoing by Italian police.
