Schools across Scotland and Northern Ireland have been evacuated following reports of widespread bomb threats, sparking a major security alert.

A large number of schools received threatening emails headed "death is near" on Wednesday morning, with pupils sent home and emergency closures reported across Scotland, including in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife and the Highlands.

Police have declared a major incident in Northern Ireland after schools received similar threatening messages, reports Belfast Live. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is carrying out urgent enquiries.

Northern Ireland's Education Authority said there was currently no evidence of a credible threat, adding that the emails were similar to a hoax sent to hundreds of schools last month.
