European security agencies raised alert levels following Danish warnings of Russian industrial sabotage and progress in the Leipzig airport bomb investigation.

European security agencies have raised alert levels after Danish intelligence warned that Moscow is preparing industrial sabotage against domestic infrastructure. The warning comes as investigators identify two suspects linked to explosive devices at Leipzig airport: a Russian national holding a Latvian passport and a Belarusian national with Russian documentation. German media reported the Belarusian suspect obtained an Italian Schengen visa, though security officials noted he did not enter Italy.

Simultaneously, Moscow launched fresh attacks targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure in response to Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. Addressing the expanding hybrid threats, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
