Published 10 h ago9 sourcesEvidence: Reported
Hundreds of schools across Italy, the United Kingdom, and Ireland received false bomb threats, prompting Italian PM Giorgia Meloni to convene a government meeting. Authorities assess the threats as not posing a concrete danger, but the cross-border scale suggests a coordinated hoax campaign.

A coordinated wave of bomb threats has targeted hundreds of schools across Italy, Ireland, the UK (including Scotland and Northern Ireland), and Bulgaria. While authorities largely assess these as hoaxes, the cross-border coordination and scale suggest a deliberate hybrid warfare campaign aimed at disruption and psychological impact, with suspected Russian involvement. Attribution remains unconfirmed, but the pattern aligns with broader suspected Russian hybrid warfare incidents across Europe.
