Bomb threats force evacuations at hundreds of schools in Italy and UK

Hundreds of schools across Italy and the UK were evacuated following emailed bomb threats. Police and officials have stated that the threats are believed to be hoaxes with no credible risk.

Numerous schools across Europe were evacuated on Wednesday after receiving threatening emails just before 10 a.m. local time. The messages were sent to more than 300 schools and were signed by Mikhail Andropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan. Authorities, including the Police Service of Northern Ireland, Police Scotland, and Italy's education minister Giuseppe Valditara, indicated that the threats are considered hoaxes and do not present a credible risk to the public.
