Italian government sources announced that approximately 1,800 schools in that country received emails containing bomb threats on Thursday, November 12. This is the second day in a row that such messages have been widely sent to Italian schools.
ANSA news agency reported that several schools were evacuated after receiving these emails.
The new messages are similar to emails sent across Italy yesterday that were found to be fake.
The threatening email with the title "Message from Italy; you are in danger", signed "Mikhail Andropov", as in previous messages. In this message, the sender announced the use of bombs in several places, including the office of the Prime Minister of Italy, and demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister of this country, Giorgio Maloney.
The Italian Ministry of Education announced on Wednesday that about 6,300 schools in the country had received similar fake messages.
