Bomb threat halts Eurostar services via Calais-Fréthun, disrupting Paris-Amsterdam-London routes

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.
