Thousands of Schools Evacuated in Italy Following Hoax Bomb Threats

Authorities across Italy evacuated schools on November 11 after approximately 6,300 educational institutions received bomb warnings.

This incident follows a recent wave of threats and cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure across Europe, including blood banks, air traffic control systems, broadcasters, and supermarkets.

Italian Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara stated that the alerts are presumed to be hoaxes.

The Minister further noted that the number of affected schools is expected to increase as the situation continues to unfold.
