Bomb threats hit thousands of European schools

On November 11, bomb threat emails were sent to schools across Europe, prompting evacuations in Italy and the UK. Yonhap reports that after threats against passenger planes and media outlets, schools in various European locations received emails claiming bombs had been installed. Chosun Ilbo, citing Reuters, says about 6,300 schools in Italy received threats, while Korea Times reports at least 300 schools in Italy were evacuated. The threats were hoaxes with no real explosive danger, but they have heightened concerns about 'hybrid threats' targeting daily facilities like schools, aviation, broadcasting, and finance. Korean media coverage focuses on the scale and disruption, with Kyunghyang noting hundreds of schools in Italy and Northern Ireland faced false bomb threats, causing class disruptions.
