European intelligence agencies warn of escalating Russian hybrid threats

European security agencies remain on high alert following reports of escalating hybrid threats linked to Moscow. Danish intelligence warned that Russia is prepared to sabotage domestic industrial sites, while German authorities identified two suspects—a Russian citizen with Latvian documents and a Belarusian with Russian paperwork—in connection with an explosive device discovered at Leipzig Airport. Regarding reports that one suspect held an Italian Schengen visa, Italian security officials stated after preliminary checks that the individual had not transited through Italy.

Simultaneously, Moscow announced a renewed military push targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Kyiv responded by launching intensified drone strikes against Russian oil refineries and fuel facilities, disrupting local supplies and forcing Russia to import gasoline.
