Schools across Italy were evacuated on Wednesday, 11 November, after a series of hoax bomb threats, according to France 24. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said there was no "concrete danger".
Meloni said she had called a government meeting with security and intelligence chiefs for Wednesday to discuss the threats. Reporting so far does not describe the outcome of that meeting, any specific measures it adopted, or whether investigators have identified who made the threats.
France 24 reports that similar hoax threats were made against schools in Britain and Ireland, and that they reportedly prompted some evacuations in Scotland. The available reporting does not give a count of the Italian schools affected or the locations involved.
The reporting so far treats the threats as hoaxes, a judgment that rests on Meloni's assessment. Whether the same actor or network sent the threats across the three countries has not been established in the reporting cited here.
