At least 300 Italian schools evacuated after email bomb alerts
- On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, hundreds of schools across Italy, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Ireland were evacuated after receiving identical bomb threat emails signed 'Mikhail Andropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan.'
- The purported author claimed responsibility for email bomb threats sent on Friday to newsrooms in Ireland and Bulgaria, establishing a pattern of hoax campaigns targeting institutions across Europe.
- Police Scotland, the Education Authority in Northern Ireland, and Irish police declared the messages 'not credible' hoaxes, yet many institutions evacuated students as a precaution, leaving pupils waiting outside in cold conditions.
- Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated there is no 'concrete danger,' while Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said he will brief parliament on security implications and the alerts' connection to broader destabilization efforts.
- Rising European concerns about 'hybrid' warfare reveal the broader context, with recent weeks seeing similar hoax threats target supermarkets and airlines, exploiting digital infrastructure to sow widespread fear across public services.
