Today, Tuesday, almost 50 schools in Sofia once again received emails with bomb threats.

As of 31 March, after a series of bomb threats targeting schools on several consecutive days, there has been a new action protocol in such situations, signed by Minister of the Interior and Deputy Prime Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev, the Interior Ministry says. The decision whether to send the pupils home is not up to the school headmasters, it is up to the Interior Ministry, Chief Commissioner Petar Todorov explained. School headmasters who suspend classes arbitrarily after receiving a bomb threat shall be subject to administrative liability.

This morning’s evaluation of the situation was that this is the latest in the string of hybrid attacks which entails absolutely no risk to the children at the schools.
