Danish intelligence warns of Russian sabotage targeting European industries as German authorities identify suspects in the Leipzig airport explosive device probe.

European security alerts have intensified following warnings from Danish intelligence services that Moscow is preparing sabotage operations against industrial facilities across Europe. The alert coincides with German investigations into explosive devices discovered at Leipzig airport, where authorities identified two suspects linked to Russia, including one who obtained an Italian Schengen visa without physically entering Italy, according to security sources.

In response to the growing threat of hybrid warfare, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that attacks on EU territory "will not be tolerated," promising a firm response.

Meanwhile, military escalation continues as Russia's Defense Ministry announced a targeted campaign against Ukraine's energy grid. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces expanded long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries, leading to domestic fuel shortages inside Russia.
