Alarm messages sent to schools across the province of Avellino prompted a summit at the Prefettura and checks at 62 school buildings on November 12, 2026. Inspections found no devices or other dangerous situations.
The Prefect of Avellino convened the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security after the alarm reports reached several schools. Police forces then intervened in 62 school sites in total: 20 in the city of Avellino and 42 elsewhere in the province.
The checks and inspections, carried out with support from specialist units, found nothing confirming the presence of explosive devices. Authorities reported no obstacles to the continuation of normal teaching activities in the schools concerned.
The Prefettura said it will continue monitoring the situation in coordination with law enforcement, schools, and the other institutions involved. Authorities also urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information that could fuel unjustified alarm.
What has not been disclosed is which individual schools were involved, the exact content and channel of the alarm messages, or the origin of the threats. The available reports describe the situation at the time of the inspections and do not document later developments.
