Schools across Italy were evacuated on Wednesday after a series of bomb threats were received, prompting emergency services to act swiftly to protect students and staff.
Police and school authorities responded to the alerts, shutting down several campuses and conducting safety checks. The threats were later identified as hoaxes, sparking no injuries or damage.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni addressed the situation, stating that there was no “concrete danger” and that the alerts had not posed a real threat to public safety.
Investigations into the origin of the hoax calls are ongoing, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward. The schools are expected to resume normal operations once the situation has been fully assessed.
