- Officials have not established who sent the emails.

## Summary

About 6,300 schools across Italy received bomb warnings on Wednesday and were evacuated, disrupting lessons and prompting parents to collect their children. Similar emails sent to schools in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland were treated as hoaxes and did not interrupt classes.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the alerts posed no danger and that police and public bodies were monitoring them; a copy of the email also threatened her. The message was signed by someone claiming to lead a group, and a security source said school email addresses were publicly available. Officials said the threats fit a wider pattern of disruption, but responsibility remains uncertain: some suspect Russia or Iran, both of which deny related accusations, while Italy’s defence minister said attention-seekers could also be responsible.
