Newsroom Bomb Threats Add to Euro Flight Hoaxes
- On Friday, a wave of bomb threats disrupted media organizations and passenger flights across Europe, forcing Irish broadcaster RTE and Bulgaria's Nova TV to evacuate offices after receiving messages headlined "Message to the West."
- Spanish Foreign Minister Manuel Albares described the incidents as "hybrid aggression and a form of psychological warfare," linking threats to Europe's support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russian forces.
- Hungarian Defence Minister Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi reported fighter jets escorted airliners through Hungarian airspace on Friday, while NATO ordered air patrols near the Hungarian-Romanian border in the alliance's first reported involvement.
- Emails sent to Italian airlines and airports claimed responsibility from "Fighters of the Male State," a banned Russian group, though the group's founder Vladislav Pozdnyakov denied involvement.
- The threats follow a broader wave of sabotage targeting European defense facilities and electricity substations, occurring days before Ireland hosts a high-profile EU meeting on Russia-Ukraine relations next week.
