Bomb threat to Italian schools for second day... The background is unknown (comprehensive)

Unrest continues as bomb threat emails were sent to public schools in Italy for the second day.

According to the local Ansa News Agency on the 12th (local time), emails threatening explosions, etc. were reportedly received at 3,788 schools on this day.

However, the actual bomb or hazardous material has not yet been confirmed. The email was found to have been sent from an account located in the Philippines. In Italy, about 6,300 public schools received bomb threat emails the previous day, causing chaos in some schools as students and teachers were evacuated.

According to Italian authorities, 77 schools that received threatening emails were evacuated that day, and 36 of them resumed classes in the morning.

The Italian government issued a statement today and unveiled new guidelines, including refraining from evacuation unless there is evidence to support the actual risk, other than mass emails. Authorities explained that if there is clear evidence showing an actual dangerous situation, a local administrative officer appointed by the central government will decide whether to take evacuation measures.

Recently, false bomb threat emails have been repeatedly sent to airplanes and schools in Europe, but the reason behind them is not clear. There are still suspicions that it is Russian hybrid terrorism, but Russia denies this.

The French government pointed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as the mastermind behind the refrigerator hacking incident that occurred in hundreds of supermarkets last month. However, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied this, saying, "The government, which cannot even control the temperature of refrigerators, is trying to shift responsibility to the outside world with absurd accusations."
