EU heightens security after Leipzig airport plot and Russian sabotage warnings

European authorities are intensifying security measures following new details regarding a thwarted hybrid attack at Leipzig Airport, where two suspects linked to Moscow were identified. Italian security sources clarified that although one suspect possessed an Italian Schengen visa, he did not enter the borderless zone through Italy.

Simultaneously, Danish intelligence agencies alerted domestic industrial sectors to potential Russian sabotage threats. Addressing the growing foreign interference, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, "we will not tolerate attacks on EU soil."

On the frontline, Russia initiated a fresh military campaign targeting Ukraine's critical energy infrastructure. In response, Ukrainian drone strikes hit several Russian oil refineries and fuel depots, disrupting domestic supplies and compelling Moscow to import petroleum products from abroad to cover national shortages.
