A wave of bomb threats has caused chaos in schools across Austria, with St.

Pölten being the latest target.

All schools and kindergartens in the city were closed for two days, forcing thousands of students into distance learning.

Parents were notified via email, but the sudden closures left many scrambling for childcare.

Police investigations are underway, with no immediate danger reported.

Similar threats have recently disrupted schools in Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, and Vienna, though no explosives have been found.

Authorities emphasize that such threats are serious crimes, carrying severe penalties and financial consequences for perpetrators.
