Danish intelligence warns of Russian sabotage as Moscow plans new strikes
Danish intelligence warns of Russian sabotage threats as European security concerns grow and Moscow prepares massive energy infrastructure strikes in Ukraine.
Danish intelligence authorities have warned that Moscow is prepared to carry out sabotage targeting domestic industries, further heightening concerns across Europe regarding Russian hybrid operations. European Union leadership emphasized that member states will not tolerate attacks on EU soil, following the identification of two Moscow-linked suspects in an explosive drone incident at Leipzig airport.
Concurrently, Russian forces maintained nighttime drone assaults against Kyiv for a third consecutive day. Moscow announced preparations for broader strikes aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure, framing the planned campaign as retaliation for Ukrainian aerial attacks on Russian oil refineries and civilian facilities.
