“There is currently a bomb threat at Calais-Fréthun station. The situation is being investigated. This may affect traffic in the area. Please be careful,” the French department of Pas-de-Calais wrote on X.
The station is near the Channel Tunnel, and, according to Sky News, some departures to London through the tunnel are affected.
At the same time, Italy’s La Repubblica reports new “aggressive” threats signed “Michail Andropov” at several locations in the country, including the Chigi Palace, the seat of government. The threats demand the resignation of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Schools in Catania, Palermo and Trieste, among other places, have also received threats. The government considers them false, according to Italian media.
Recently, there have been bomb threats at several locations in Europe, including against aircraft and media outlets. On Wednesday, thousands of schools in Italy, Ireland and Scotland received false bomb threats bearing the same Russian-sounding signature.
No bombs have been found, but the threats have raised concerns and led to evacuations, major security measures and traffic disruptions.
