In Rome, an emergency meeting because of letters about impending explosions in schools

This morning, more than 6,000 schools in Italy received emails about “mining.” According to the Corriere della Sera newspaper, reports said: "A powerful remotely controlled explosive device is laid in the building." Some schools were evacuated.

In this regard, Italian Prime Minister George Meloni called an emergency meeting. This was reported by ANSA, citing sources in the office of the Prime Minister.

The meeting will be held at the official residence of the government in Rome, in the Palazzo Chigi, at 16:00 local time. It will be attended by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, as well as heads of intelligence services and the National Cyber Security Agency.

The meeting will be devoted to assessing the situation and coordinating the work of departments to ensure the safety of educational institutions and prevent panic.

On November 5, at least 14 passenger flights in Europe faced bomb threats, which caused the planes to be rerouted to other airports, and some of them were accompanied by military aircraft. This was the second wave of such reports in Europe this week. On November 3, at least seven aircraft and one cruise ship received bomb threats. No explosive devices were found in any of the cases.

Later, ANSA and Adnkronos reported that letters in Italian with the theme “Message of threat” came from “Fighters of the male state” (recognized extremist organization and banned in Russia) and caused the alarm on two flights from Helsinki and Dublin to Rome. Similar reports signed by the same group have been sent to the Italian National Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) regarding flights arriving at and departing from Milan’s Malpensa airport.
