Danish intelligence warns of Russian sabotage risk amid European hybrid threat alerts

Danish intelligence authorities have warned that Russia is prepared to conduct sabotage against domestic industrial facilities, compounding concerns over heightened hybrid threats across Europe.

The warning follows the identification of two suspects linked to Moscow who are accused of placing explosive devices at Leipzig airport. Investigators noted that one suspect, a Belarusian national, obtained a Schengen visa through Italian channels without physically entering Italy.

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defence announced targeted strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. In response to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries—which have disrupted domestic supplies and forced fuel imports—European leaders reasserted their defense posture. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
