Thousands of schools evacuated in Italy as bomb threats spread across Europe
Schools were evacuated across Italy on Wednesday following a series of hoax bomb threats, but Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said there was no "concrete danger".
Key points
- More than 6,000 Italian schools received a threat.
- Authorities in all three countries say there appears to be no risk to the public.
The threats come after a series of hoax bomb alerts across Europe in recent weeks, which have prompted growing concern about the possibility of an escalation in hybrid warfare.
Schools in Italy were evacuated, Northern Ireland and Scotland also received similar threats, but no evacuations were reported, according to the Associated Press.
