UK broadcaster Sky received security threat, as alerts sweep Europe
- On Friday, November 6, 2026, Irish media organisations including Ireland's national broadcaster RTÉ and Newstalk were evacuated in Dublin after receiving emailed bomb threats warning of explosives detonating within 45 minutes.
- These alerts appear part of a coordinated Europe-wide campaign, following hoax bomb warnings that targeted nearly 30 passenger flights across the continent earlier this week.
- Threatening emails claimed to be from the group behind airline hoaxes and warned "the explosion will occur in 60 minutes." Gardaí and specialist units searched the premises but found no explosives.
- RTÉ resumed broadcasting from a mobile Roadcaster unit within hours as Taoiseach Micheál Martin vowed, "We will go after this to identify who's responsible and to hold them accountable."
- The disruptions occurred just before Ireland hosts two major European Union summits, exposing vulnerabilities to hybrid aggression targeting critical infrastructure and press freedom amid broader European security concerns.
