European authorities are on high alert following Danish intelligence warnings of potential Russian sabotage against industrial infrastructure.

Danish intelligence services have warned that Russia is preparing potential sabotage operations targeting European industrial facilities. The alert coincides with heightened security concerns across the continent following investigations into incendiary devices discovered at Leipzig airport in Germany. German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow, including a Belarusian national who obtained a Schengen visa through Italy without entering the country.

Simultaneously, military operations continue to focus on critical infrastructure. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced an escalated campaign targeting Ukraine's power grid. In response, Ukrainian forces have maintained long-range drone strikes against Russian oil refineries, disrupting domestic fuel supplies and forcing Moscow to import petroleum products from abroad.

European leaders emphasized that hybrid threats will not be tolerated, signaling coordinated defensive measures across member states.
