Italy PM Meloni vows resilience after school bomb threats; EU-wide probe underway
Published 1 d ago4 sourcesEvidence: Reported
For the second consecutive day, approximately 1,800 schools across Italy received mass email bomb threats, prompting Prime Minister Meloni to instruct authorities not to evacuate facilities unless concrete alarm indicators exist or an authority orders it. The threats appear to be a coordinated campaign, but the source and credibility remain unverified; the government's response signals a shift toward resilience against disruptive hoaxes.

A coordinated wave of mass email bomb threats has targeted thousands of schools across Italy, France, the UK (Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland), Ireland, and Bulgaria, disrupting education and Eurostar train services. Italian authorities, including PM Meloni, characterize these incidents as a 'hybrid warfare' or 'cyberattack' campaign aimed at sowing chaos and psychological warfare, with Russia suspected but unconfirmed. While most threats are assessed as hoaxes, the scale and cross-border coordination indicate a deliberate, state-sponsored or sophisticated actor.
