OVER 100 SCHOOLS EVACUATED FOLLOWING WAVE OF BOMB THREATS

ROME, NOVEMBER 11 /SRNA/ – Dozens of schools across Italy have been evacuated after receiving bomb threats via email, ANSA news agency reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation.

Police have been dispatched to the affected schools, and security checks are under way following the evacuation of students and teachers.

According to RAI and Sky TG24, the emails were signed "Mikhail Andropov", the same name used in multiple bomb threats sent to airlines that prompted flight diversions across Europe but later proved to be hoaxes.

A similar incident occurred last week, when 280 school principals across the country received warning emails.
