An Airbus A320 plane has been diverted to the Evreux airbase to the west of Paris following a bomb threat. 

The office of French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced the incident on Thursday, saying it was monitoring the situation. 

The flight was headed from Dublin, Ireland, to the Italian capital of Rome. 

This follows bomb threats leveled against several European flights earlier this week, prompting a series of similar unscheduled landings.
