New wave of bomb threats hit European airlines

European airlines are facing a new series of bomb threats, marking the third incident this week. Flights to and from cities like Lisbon, Rome, and Prague were targeted, leading to military escorts for some planes. Several media organizations, including RTÉ, were evacuated due to similar threats, although no direct connection has been established between the airline and media threats. Earlier in the week, nearly 30 aircraft and multiple airports were affected by what the UK termed a 'malicious hoax.' No explosives have been found, and the Irish government suspects a coordinated campaign of disruption. Prime Minister Micheál Martin emphasized public safety amid these threats, which coincide with upcoming EU meetings in Dublin. The Russian extremist group 'Male State' has denied involvement in the hoaxes.
