In recent weeks, a wave of bomb threats across Europe has disrupted daily life in entire countries, without a single explosive device being found. The largest incident occurred on November 11, when a threat message was sent to approximately 6,300 schools in Italy, leading to evacuations in 312 of them. Between November 2 and 6, more than 50 bomb threats were made against passenger flights across Europe, all false alarms. Planes were forced to change course, were escorted by fighter jets, and in some cases passengers were evacuated. Flights related to Israel were also affected, including an Austrian Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna that was diverted to Sofia. Schools in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Hungary, Serbia, and Ireland received threats, and media networks such as Ireland's RTE and Britain's Sky News were evacuated. The identity of those responsible is unknown; EU officials have blamed Russia, but no state involvement has been confirmed. Arrests have been reported without details.
