Italy is facing fake bomb threats against schools for a second day in a row. Email messages on Thursday hit several regions including Veneto, Liguria, Umbria, Lazio, Sicily and Lombardy. Some schools were evacuated, although security checks did not reveal any specific danger. El Mundo ↗
According to Italian media, thousands of educational institutions received identical or similar messages. The previous day, hundreds of schools had to vacate their buildings due to threats. The messages were signed with the name Mikhail Andropov and also contained threats directed against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the Italian population. HVG ↗
The new wave of electronic messages also targeted recipients with addresses under the domain of the Italian Ministry of Education. One of them contained a bomb threat against the government's seat in the Chigi Palace and a demand for the government's resignation. Authorities labeled it a false alarm with no concrete indications of an attack. ANSA ↗
On Thursday, Meloni received opposition party leaders in Rome. She called the meeting in order to share available information and coordinate further steps. The prime minister called for unity in responding to the security and cyber threat. The government, police and relevant institutions continue investigating the origin of the messages and checking other potential targets. La Repubblica ↗
