Danish intelligence warned of potential Russian industrial sabotage as German authorities identified suspects in a Leipzig Airport explosive device case.

Danish intelligence authorities have warned that Moscow may be preparing sabotage operations against domestic industrial sites, adding to growing security concerns across Europe. The alert coincides with progress in the investigation into an explosive device found at Germany's Leipzig Airport. Authorities identified two suspects: a Russian citizen with Latvian identification and a Belarusian national carrying Russian documents. German reports indicated the Belarusian suspect obtained an Italian Schengen visa, though security officials clarified no physical transit through Italy occurred.

Concurrently, Russia launched a renewed military effort targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. In response, Ukrainian forces escalated drone strikes against Russian oil facilities to disrupt military fuel supplies. European leaders condemned potential hybrid threats, emphasizing unity against foreign interference on Allied territory.
