Ameaças de bomba forçam evacuação de milhares de escolas na Europa | TEMPO REAL

What did you think?

Anonymous bomb threats prompted school evacuations and canceled classes across Italy, Ireland and Scotland on Wednesday, according to Brazil's Jovem Pan News. Its report describes widespread disruption despite searches finding no explosive devices.

Speaking live from Munich, reporter Luca Bassani said at least 6,000 Italian schools and educational institutes had received threatening emails. He described incidents in Rome, Naples and Milan, as well as smaller towns and daycare centers. That figure refers to institutions receiving threats, not a confirmed count of evacuations.

The broadcast's introduction put the number of schools evacuated across the affected countries at more than a thousand. Most of Bassani's account focused on Italy, with little detail about the incidents in Ireland or Scotland.

According to Bassani, inspections found no explosives or weapons threatening students and staff. He said Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had convened an emergency meeting with ministers and that authorities were maintaining maximum alert, although no imminent danger had been identified at the time of the broadcast.

Bassani characterized the threats as an apparent episode of hybrid warfare, describing how inexpensive mass emails can interrupt public services and undermine trust without conventional military force. That was his assessment; the report did not identify who sent the messages or establish responsibility for a coordinated campaign.

The ministerial meeting was still underway when he finished his live update.
