Media outlets in Ireland and the UK evacuated following bomb threats

On November 6, 2026, multiple major media organizations in Ireland and the United Kingdom were evacuated following a series of coordinated bomb threats. The Irish national broadcaster RTÉ and the newspaper The Irish Independent confirmed that their Dublin offices were cleared after receiving an anonymous email threat early in the morning. The threatening message claimed to have been sent to several other media outlets across both Ireland and the UK.

Shortly after the initial reports, the British broadcaster Sky confirmed that it was among the organizations targeted. In an official statement, Sky News announced that it had received a security threat and immediately conducted a safety assessment while notifying relevant authorities. The company prioritized the protection of its staff and operations, opting not to provide further public details while cooperating with law enforcement.

This wave of threats appears to be part of a broader, unexplained series of incidents affecting media infrastructure in the region. Authorities are currently investigating the source of the emails to determine the credibility of the threats. No specific group has claimed responsibility, and operations at the affected sites remain subject to ongoing security reviews and police coordination.
