More bomb threats have been sent to schools in Italy hours after an alert triggered a lockdown at the Eurostar station in Calais.

Bomb threats were sent by email to over ten regions in Italy, prompting a number of schools to evacuate.

The emails said the schools had been ‘mined’ and were signed by Mikhail Andropov, a name that has been used for previous bomb threats.

The chaos came after passengers travelling through Calais were warned of delays after a bomb alert was declared at the station.

The station, which serves Eurostar, is in lockdown after the incident this morning, with several busy rail routes ground to a halt, including London-Paris services.

The Pas-de-Calais administration said on social media that a ‘bomb alert’ is underway at Calais-Frethun station.

In a subsequent statement, the local government said the situation has been solved and road traffic in the area is about to resume.

Eurostar warned passengers of delays due to the closure of the station ‘at the request of the French authorities.’
