EU says it is "too early" to say whether bomb threats on flights in Europe are linked
The European Union stated it is too early to determine if recent bomb threats against flights in Europe are interconnected. Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas emphasized ongoing investigations and the activation of the EU's information-sharing mechanism regarding aviation security. Multiple airlines faced a new wave of bomb threats, leading to unscheduled landings and military escorts for some aircraft. As of Thursday afternoon, 20 to 27 incidents were reported, but none were confirmed as genuine, and no group has claimed responsibility. Some threats were linked to an antifeminist group, according to airport officials.
