Mass hoax bomb threats disrupt schools across Italy, UK, Ireland
Published 1 d ago1 sourceEvidence: Reported
A bomb threat targeting hundreds of schools in Italy, and a similar warning in Northern Ireland, was signed by 'Mikhail Andropov, Leader of the Wilayat of Misogynistan'. This follows a pattern of hybrid attacks in Europe, including cyber attacks and bomb threats on airplanes and TV channels. The sender's identity and credibility remain unverified; the incident underscores an ongoing low-level disruption campaign.

A coordinated wave of mass email bomb threats has targeted thousands of schools across Italy, France, the UK (Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland), Ireland, and Bulgaria, disrupting education and Eurostar train services. Italian authorities, including PM Meloni, characterize these incidents as a 'hybrid warfare' or 'cyberattack' campaign aimed at sowing chaos and psychological warfare, with Russia suspected but unconfirmed. While most threats are assessed as hoaxes, the scale and cross-border coordination indicate a deliberate, state-sponsored or sophisticated actor.
