European authorities heighten security following hybrid threats, including an explosive drone investigation at Leipzig airport and new Russian warnings against Ukraine's energy grid.

European authorities remain on high alert following hybrid warfare threats and recent security incidents across the continent. Investigators have identified two suspects tied to Moscow in connection with an explosive drone discovered at Leipzig airport. Meanwhile, Danish intelligence officials warned that Russia may be preparing sabotage operations against Denmark's industrial sector.

In Ukraine, Russian forces carried out a third consecutive night of drone strikes on Kyiv. Moscow announced plans to conduct massive attacks against Ukraine's energy network, framing the measure as retaliation for Ukrainian raids targeting Russian oil infrastructure.

Addressing the escalating security concerns, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the European Union will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains "ready to respond."
