EU warns against hybrid attacks as Danish intelligence flags Russian sabotage risks

European security agencies remain on high alert following warnings from Danish intelligence that Russia may attempt sabotage against local industrial sites. Tensions also persist over a plot involving explosive devices at Leipzig airport, where German authorities identified a Russian national with a Latvian passport and a Belarusian holding Russian documents as key suspects. Italian security officials confirmed the Belarusian suspect held an Italian Schengen visa but determined he had not passed through Italy.

In response to growing hybrid threats, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, "We will not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond." Concurrently, Moscow declared a fresh offensive targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, while Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to rely on foreign imports.
