A bomb threat struck Cagliari City Hall, halting Council meetings. At 5:00 PM, a phone call came in: "The municipal offices have been bombed. Don't hold the meeting, focus on the school's problems." The voice sounded like it was created by artificial intelligence. The police were immediately notified, and the bomb squad and the DIGOS (Italian Special Operations Squad) intervened.

The building on Via Roma was not evacuated, but the Council Chamber was cleared as a precaution. Specialists have searched every corner of the City Hall and have already begun an investigation to identify the person who made the call. The alarm was dismissed after about an hour.

Given the tone of the message, it is likely linked to the recent protests in numerous schools and institutes in Cagliari.
