Fear and panic in dozens of schools in Italy, after the arrival of an anonymous email warning of the planting of bombs. Authorities have activated security measures, while students and educational staff in the affected institutions have been immediately evacuated. Law enforcement has begun checks on school premises to verify if there is any real danger.
According to Italian media, threats have been reported in several cities across the country, with three schools in Potenza among the affected institutions. In the latter, all students were evacuated by order of the respective principals. A similar alarm was also reported in two schools in Sanremo.
This is not the first time these threats have been made. Just a few days ago, a similar email was sent to 280 school principals, affecting more than 100 educational institutions.
The message also contained serious threats against Italy: "We have come to destroy you. We will commit genocide against Italians." According to preliminary data, the emails are suspected to have been written in Arabic. Authorities are investigating the origin of the messages and the people who may be behind them, while checks continue to ensure the safety of students and educational staff.
