Von der Leyen warns EU will respond to hybrid attacks on its soil

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the European Union will "not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains "ready to respond" following recent hybrid warfare incidents across the continent.

The statement coincided with further details regarding an explosive drone discovered at Leipzig airport. Reports indicated that one suspect, a Belarusian national, entered the Schengen area using an Italian visa, though Italian security officials stated initial checks show he did not transit through Italy.

Meanwhile, Russian forces conducted a third consecutive night of drone raids targeting Kyiv. Moscow announced plans to launch massive strikes on Ukraine's energy grid, framing the measures as retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries. Concurrently, Danish intelligence officials reaffirmed that Moscow may be preparing sabotage operations against Denmark's industrial sector.
