Hoax Bomb Threats Disrupt Air Traffic Across Europe

A wave of hoax bomb threats disrupted air traffic across Europe, with no group yet claiming responsibility. The incidents affected multiple countries and prompted temporary suspensions or diversions of flights while authorities cleared terminals and aircraft. The disruption comes as European capitals grow increasingly concerned about hybrid warfare tactics, including cyberattacks and disinformation, attributed to state and non-state actors. The scare highlights the vulnerability of the continent's aviation network to low-cost, high-impact disruptions. Officials have not linked the threats to a single source, and investigations are ongoing. What to watch next: whether a group claims responsibility and whether the frequency of such threats escalates in the coming weeks.
