Reports say Russia is seeing a rise in attacks on schools and other educational institutions. The Japan Times and NDTV both report at least 14 such incidents so far this year. That figure is compared with 15 attacks across the entire year of 2025, indicating an increased pace in 2026. The reports also reference the language allegedly used during one of the incidents, described as threats such as “Next time, I’ll stab you,” which reflects the seriousness of the episodes. The articles describe the pattern as a “spate” of wartime-linked school attacks, though they do not provide detailed incident-by-incident breakdown in the information provided here. Both outlets present the same overall comparison of reported attack counts—14 in the current year versus 15 in 2025—suggesting that authorities and monitoring groups are tracking the incidents closely. The reports focus on the number of attacks and the nature of threats mentioned, without attributing blame or providing uniform details about perpetrators in the excerpts available.
