A new wave of bomb threats forces the diversion of several flights and emergency landings in France, Italy, Bulgaria, Belgium, and Austria

A new wave of bomb threats targeting commercial flights has disrupted European air traffic, leading to emergency landings and security operations across several countries. No explosives have been confirmed. In France, an Aer Lingus flight was diverted to Évreux. In Belgium, a LOT Polish Airlines flight landed safely in Brussels after a security alert. An Austrian Finnair flight also landed normally in Vienna following a bomb threat. In Bulgaria, three planes made emergency landings due to similar threats. These incidents follow previous false bomb alerts affecting nine flights in Europe. The threats coincide with accusations against Russia and Iran for hybrid attacks, which both deny. Experts suggest these bomb threats may be part of a destabilization pattern.
