Thousands of Italian schools were evacuated on Wednesday following bomb threats, prompting the government to develop a standardized response protocol. The threats appear to be a coordinated hoax campaign, though the source and intent remain unclear. The move signals a shift from ad-hoc evacuations to a more controlled national procedure, potentially reducing disruption while managing risk.

A coordinated wave of mass email bomb threats has disrupted thousands of schools across Italy, France, the UK (including Scotland and Northern Ireland), and Ireland, with some impact on Eurostar train services. Italian authorities initially evacuated schools but have since shifted protocols, treating many as hoaxes while acknowledging a potential hybrid warfare campaign. Russia is suspected as a state-sponsored actor behind these incidents, though definitive attribution remains unconfirmed.
