Bomb panic in France. Train services were stopped on the Channel tunnel line

The bomb alarm given at the Calais-Fréthun Station in the north of France this morning caused disruptions in both domestic flights and international railway transportation.

Pas-de-Calais Governorship, in its announcement on the social media platform X, noted that the alarm in question may affect railway traffic.

According to the news of Reuters agency, national railway operator SNCF announced that services were restarted later on Thursday morning with the approval of the gendarmerie.

Eurostar, the international high-speed train operator operating between London and Paris, reported that there were delays in some flights to London due to the trains passing through Calais-Fréthun Station on the route.

In the statement made by the company, the statement was made: "At the request of the French authorities, trains cannot currently pass through Calais-Fréthun Station. This situation causes delays in some flights departing and arriving in London."

It was not immediately clear whether the alarm in Calais was linked to hoax bomb threats that have targeted flights, schools and some media outlets in France and other European countries in recent months.

On the other hand, it is being investigated whether foreign powers are behind the fake bomb threats against planes in France.

Before the development in Calais, the authorities of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland announced that threatening e-mails were sent to many schools from outside the United Kingdom yesterday.

While the threatening message, which reached more than 300 schools in Northern Ireland, was treated as a false report, police officials reported that the e-mail originated outside the United Kingdom.

Deputy Chief Constable Anthony McNally said: "We take incidents of this type extremely seriously and understand the concern raised in the community, school community, students and parents."

Irish police announced that a general message was sent to many schools, that the threat was not found credible and that there was no situation requiring evacuation.

The Irish police also pointed out that there has been an increase in unfounded and unconvincing reporting activities recently and recommended that those who receive similar messages contact the security units.

Police in Scotland also stated that the messages they received were false and did not pose a threat to public security and made the evaluation: "Our investigations have not identified any elements that suggest that these messages pose a credible danger or pose a wider risk to the public."

Threats in the UK and Ireland were reported after at least 300 schools were evacuated in Italy.

Italian Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara stated in his statement to La7 television that the reports were considered to be unfounded and that the number of affected schools was expected to increase.

In a statement sent to parents via a messaging application, a school in Rome stated that after the bomb alarm across the country, students were taken to a safe area and kept under the supervision of teachers.

Nensi Bego, one of the parents of Mazzini Secondary School, expressed her reaction by saying, "My daughter Dafne started crying because the children did not understand what happened; she was still shaken when I picked her up from school. This is very annoying. It is obvious that it is just a fraud that disrupts classes and ruins everyone's day."

In the message, it was seen that the e-mail in Italy was signed in the name of "Vilayat of Misogynistan leader Mikhail Andropov".

The same signature was also used in emailed bomb threats sent to newsrooms in Ireland and Bulgaria on Friday.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, in his assessment to the Adnkronos news agency, argued that Wednesday's threats were part of the strategy to spread fear and create anxiety.

"THERE ARE ATTENTION LOOKERS AND MENTALLY ILL WHO WANT TO SPREAD FEAR"

Minister Crosetto said, "This is not always the work of foreign countries or hostile structures. In such periods, there are also attention seekers and mentally ill people who are waiting for an opportunity to spread terror in a city or region."

The Rome police spokesman announced that Italian police forces are conducting an investigation into the matter.

In addition, it was reported that a man was detained in the United Kingdom over an alleged cyber attack that caused disruptions at major European airports.
