Security services have assessed that there is an 80% likelihood that Russian intelligence is behind a series of hoax bomb threats affecting flights across Europe, including at least 20 threats made on November 6, 2026. These threats caused significant disruptions at airports, leading to military escorts for several flights. The threats appear to be part of a hybrid campaign aimed at causing unrest and undermining public confidence. Meanwhile, a group named 'Male State' has denied involvement in these threats, despite some media attributing the incidents to them. The situation remains under investigation by European police and cyber agencies, with no confirmed evidence linking the threats directly to Russian state actors at this time.
