European security agencies remain on high alert following Danish intelligence warnings of potential Russian sabotage operations against industrial targets.

Danish intelligence services have warned that Russia is preparing potential sabotage operations against domestic industrial targets, prompting heightened security alerts across Europe. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen affirmed that the European Union "will not tolerate hybrid attacks on its territory" and remains prepared to respond.

The alert follows ongoing investigations into explosive devices discovered at Leipzig airport in Germany. Authorities identified two suspects connected to Moscow: a Russian citizen with a Latvian passport and a Belarusian national holding Russian documents. Italian security officials confirmed the Belarusian suspect obtained a Schengen visa through Italy, though records indicate he never entered Italian territory.

Meanwhile, the military conflict continues to target energy systems. Moscow declared a dedicated campaign against Ukrainian power networks, while Kyiv maintained long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries.
