6,300 Italian schools targeted in bomb hoax
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says civilian infrastructure is under attack in the country after a nationwide bomb hoax targeting schools caused mass evacuations.
Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland also said many of their schools received a similar email threat from abroad, but it was classed as a hoax and did not disrupt classes.
It comes as cyberattacks targeting flights, plasma banks, newsrooms and supermarkets across Europe have ramped up in recent months, which politicians and experts warn could become the new norm.
