European authorities report potential Russian sabotage activities while Moscow launches fresh drone raids on Kyiv and threatens Ukraine's energy grid.

Security concerns across Europe are escalating as officials investigate potential state-sponsored hybrid actions. German authorities identified two suspects tied to Russia following the discovery of an explosive drone at Leipzig airport. Meanwhile, Danish intelligence services warned that Moscow may be preparing sabotage operations targeting national industrial facilities. In response to mounting tensions, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen affirmed that the bloc will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains "ready to respond."

Concurrently, Russian forces executed a third consecutive night of drone strikes against Kyiv. Moscow's defense ministry declared plans for widespread attacks against Ukraine's energy infrastructure, framing the move as retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries.
