European authorities raise alerts as Danish intelligence warns of potential Russian sabotage and German police identify Leipzig airport suspects.

European intelligence agencies have raised security alerts across the continent amid growing concerns over Russian hybrid warfare. Danish intelligence warned that Moscow may target domestic industrial sites, while German investigators identified two suspects linked to an explosive device found at Leipzig Airport. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that Brussels will not tolerate hostile operations, stating, "Non tolleriamo attacchi sul suolo Ue, pronti a rispondere."

Concurrently, Russia launched a renewed campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid. In response, Kyiv intensified drone strikes against Russian oil facilities, disrupting fuel supplies and forcing Moscow to import petrol. Italian security officials clarified that one suspect holding an Italian Schengen visa had not transited through Italy, contradicting early German media reports.
