A bomb threat was issued against a special school in Linz, Austria, early Thursday morning, prompting a swift evacuation.

An anonymous caller alerted the police about a potential bomb at the Allgemeine Sonderschule 4 on Teistlergutstraße, leading to a large-scale police response.

Students present at the time were transported to a nearby center for safety.

The school building is currently being searched by specialists.

This incident is part of a troubling trend of bomb threats against schools in the region, with several occurrences reported this year, including one that disrupted the city center during exam preparations at another school.
