In three European countries, bomb notifications are sent en masse to schools. 300 educational institutions were evacuated in Italy.
In Italy, Great Britain and Ireland, unknown people are sending bomb threats to schools en masse, reports Reuters. In Italy, at least 300 educational institutions were evacuated in one day, the government said. The Republic Police opened an investigation. In Italy, an email about alleged bombs was signed by Mikhail Andropov, the leader of the Wilayat Misogynistan, Reuters has learned. The same alleged author claimed responsibility for electronic bomb threats sent last week to media outlets in Ireland and Bulgaria.
Reports of bombs, according to preliminary data, turned out to be false, the head of the Italian Ministry of Education, Giuseppe Valditra, told the La7 television channel. According to him, the number of schools affected by such threats may be higher. Educational institutions in Ireland, the British autonomous region of Northern Ireland and Scotland received similar notices on Wednesday. The Irish Republic Police said that authorities were aware of "similar messages" sent to the schools and assessed the threat as not credible, noting that no evacuation was required. In Northern Ireland, more than 300 educational institutions are known to have received threats.
