What happened
Multiple flights were diverted due to bomb threats across Europe, with at least six flights targeted, and some forced to divert before being searched on the ground. Additionally, supermarkets' fridges were hacked, causing widespread damage and spoilage of food.
Russian troops have shown signs of preparing for a potential new incursion into Europe, amid warnings of a growing campaign of Russian sabotage across the continent. The incidents come as Vladimir Putin warned he is prepared for a major war with Europe, stating there would be 'no winners' if he entered a conflict with NATO.
Western intelligence officials have warned that Putin has an 'appetite' to increase his European sabotage campaign, which could lead to a war by 2030. The National Cyber Security Centre has warned retailers to stay alert after the cyber attacks on supermarkets, which have caused damage and led to the disposal of spoiled food.
European leaders are taking action against the increasing threats, with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk sending armed forces to the Russian border amid fears of an armed incursion. The move comes after Poland foiled a potential 'provocation' on its border with the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.
