Chief Secretary Kotsev informed journalists that the national 112 system received an alarming email threatening explosive devices in all schools nationwide. Swift actions were taken, revealing that no actual explosive devices were found following thorough inspections.

The prosecutor's office is seeking a permanent measure for the perpetrators of this brutal act," Kotsev stated.
