Over 1,000 schools in the UK and Ireland receive threatening emails; police deem them not credible.

More than 1,000 schools in the UK and Ireland received threatening emails on the 11th, and police assessed the threats as not credible. Police Scotland said in a statement on the 11th that earlier that day, about 1,000 Scottish schools received a threatening email. After assessment, police determined the threat was not credible. On the same day, the Police Service of Northern Ireland said that more than 300 schools in Northern Ireland received threatening emails that were false threats. The Northern Ireland Department of Education said in a social media post that day that schools should remain open unless police advise closure. In addition, multiple schools in Ireland received a "mass message" that day, and Irish police assessed the threat as not credible and said schools did not need to evacuate.
