Hybrid warfare: Hoax bomb alerts sent to schools in Italy, UK in latest disruption

The hoax threats forced evacuations at educational institutions in Italy, Britain, Scotland and Ireland, causing significant disruption to daily operations. These incidents represent the latest escalation in a coordinated hybrid warfare campaign targeting European infrastructure.

The wave of threats began several weeks ago, with similar hoax bomb alerts affecting flights across the continent. More recently, cyber attacks targeted supermarket refrigeration systems in several European countries, including Italy.
