Some 1,800 schools get new bomb threats, govt says don't evacuate

A new series of bomb threats targeted approximately 1,800 schools in Italy, prompting some evacuations. The government advised schools not to evacuate immediately upon receiving such emails. The threats, attributed to a group claiming to be led by 'Mikhail Andropov', were sent from various Philippine email addresses. Schools that evacuated did so before receiving updated government instructions to continue classes unless there were specific grounds for alarm. The president of the school principals' association urged the government to implement better filtering systems for threats. Investigations into the threats are ongoing, with no immediate evidence of a genuine threat found.
