Train services between London and Paris have been delayed following a bomb threat at France's Calais-Fretin station in the northern part of the country, and more bomb threats have disrupted Italian schools for a second day in a row. This is a continuation of the bomb threats that diverted numerous flights last week and threats to numerous schools in Italy, Northern Ireland, and Scotland yesterday.

Here's more:

The Pas-de-Calais prefecture announced the alert on social media platform X on the morning of November 12. It said checks were under way to rule out any danger and warned the operation could affect traffic around the station.

Eurostar said in a statement that, at the request of the French authorities, “trains are currently unable to pass through Calais-Fréthun station”. The operator added that this was causing delays to some services to and from London.

TER Hauts-de-France, the regional arm of French State rail operator SNCF, said traffic on the line between Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer had been suspended in both directions. It linked the stoppage to a report of abandoned luggage at the station and said at 9.45am local time that it expected trains to run again at around 10.30am.

Traffic resumed around 11:18 AM CET after security checks were completed. 

In Italy, schools in Rome, Palermo, Naples, Trieste, Catania, Faenza, Forlì, and Salerno were evacuated again.

Evacuations were also reported in Liguria.

The Italian government says once again that the threats are unfounded.

"New bomb threats at schools, checks underway. Email threats also sent to Palazzo Chigi; the government says the threat is unfounded: a protocol is on the way. Bomb threat at Calais station too," the post reads.
