⁠More than 1,800 ⁠schools in Italy were sent emails containing bomb threats on Thursday, the government said, a day after some 6,300 schools received similar alerts . Many schools closed immediately after receiving the latest warnings, causing widespread disruption as parents rushed to collect their children. Police in Rome said “there was nothing to substantiate” the threats. Like Wednesday’s emails, the messages were reportedly signed by “Mikhail Andropov”, who presented himself as the “leader of the Vilayat of ⁠⁠⁠⁠Misoginistan”, according to Italy’s Ansa news agency. The same purported author claimed responsibility for email bomb threats sent last week to newsrooms in Ireland and Bulgaria .
