## Key points

- Threats reached 3,778 Italian schools on Thursday.
- Only 77 schools were evacuated, authorities said.
- No explosive devices have been found.

## Summary

Schools across Italy received a second wave of bomb threats, prompting evacuations and renewed concern among parents. No explosive devices have been found, and the government has advised schools not to evacuate solely because they receive a mass email without other concrete evidence.

Authorities said 3,778 schools, from Milan to Sicily, reported threats on Thursday, but only 77 were evacuated, compared with much wider disruption the previous day. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the government would issue guidance for schools; the threats’ origins remain uncertain, and it is unclear whether they are linked to alerts in Scotland, Northern Ireland, France or recent hoaxes targeting European airports and airlines.
