European leaders warn against hybrid attacks following sabotage alerts in Denmark and a bomb discovery at Germany's Leipzig Airport.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the bloc will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains "ready to respond," following heightened security concerns across the continent. Danish intelligence agencies warned that Moscow may be preparing sabotage operations against domestic industrial sites, adding to warnings over Russian hybrid warfare. Meanwhile, German authorities identified two suspects tied to an explosive device at Leipzig Airport: a Russian national holding Latvian documentation and a Belarusian citizen carrying Russian papers. Italian security sources clarified that the Belarusian suspect did not physically pass through Italy despite obtaining a Schengen visa there. On the battlefield, Russia launched a campaign targeting Ukrainian energy facilities, while Ukraine escalated drone strikes against Russian oil infrastructure to disrupt enemy military logistics.
