Hundreds of Italian Schools Evacuated After Bomb-Alert Emails. Investigators Have Not Identified the Sender.

Schools in several Italian cities evacuated pupils and staff on Wednesday after bomb-alert emails reached educational institutions. Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara said about 300 schools had received messages by late morning, later updating the figure to 312, while separate news reports described roughly 300 evacuations. Those figures measure different things. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said checks had revealed no indication of a concrete danger, but investigations into the messages continued and no sender had been publicly identified.
