NEW DELHI — Over 70 fake bomb threats have been made against flights operated by multiple Indian airlines this week, Indian media reported Sunday, triggering fear among passengers and global delays.

A report in The Indian Express said that an anonymous account on X was suspended after posting bomb threats to at least 40 flights on Friday and Saturday.This included both Indian and international airlines, including from the United States and New Zealand.'There are bombs placed onboard... No one will make out alive.'Hurry up and evacuate the plane,' read the identical messages from the suspended account, the newspaper reported.
