European nations heighten security following hybrid threat warnings and Leipzig airport plot

European nations are intensifying security measures following multiple warnings regarding Russian hybrid warfare and sabotage. In Germany, investigators identified two suspects linked to an explosive device found at Leipzig Airport: a Russian citizen holding Latvian documentation and a Belarusian national carrying Russian papers. German reports noted that the Belarusian suspect obtained an Italian Schengen visa, though Italian security officials confirmed he never physically entered Italy.

Concurrently, Danish intelligence services warned that Moscow is preparing sabotage operations aimed at domestic industrial facilities. On the battlefield, Russia launched a renewed military campaign targeting Ukraine's energy network. In response, Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian refineries and petroleum infrastructure, forcing Moscow to import fuel from foreign suppliers.
