Italian authorities have responded to bomb threat warnings sent to more than 300 schools across the country.
The threats prompted security checks and temporary disruptions at affected institutions. Police and local officials are investigating the origin of the messages.
Such incidents have occurred in other European countries in recent years, often involving hoaxes or coordinated alerts. Italian media reported the scale of the warnings received on Wednesday.
Schools have been advised to follow established safety protocols while the investigation continues. No injuries or actual devices have been confirmed in initial reports.
