After airplanes and televisions, it is schools' turn to receive bomb threats

More than 6,300 schools in Italy and more than 800 in Scotland and Northern Ireland were evacuated as a precaution. According to the details reflected in the Italian press, it was claimed in the threatening e-mails that there were remote-controlled explosives in schools, especially in the capital Rome. It was stated that the signature of "Misoginistan Province leader Mikhail Andropov" was included under the messages. The same name was also included in bomb threats made to media organizations in Bulgaria, England and Ireland last week.

While security units pointed out that there was a high probability that the reports were organized hoaxes, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni held an emergency cabinet meeting on the developments. The recent intensification of fake bomb threats, together with cyber attacks on supermarket coolers in many European countries, are seen as hybrid warfare moves. European officials think that Iran and Russia are behind the incidents.
