Explosions in Europe linked to Russian plot targeting US cargo flights

economictimes.indiatimes.com — November 6, 2024, 03:02 AM UTC

Explosions at logistics hubs in Europe this July are now believed to be part of a Russian plot targeting cargo flights to the United States. Security officials say these incidents were a test for larger attacks aimed at destabilizing NATO allies.

Western intelligence agencies have linked the explosions in Britain, Germany, and Poland to Russian military intelligence. This marks a potential escalation in Russia's efforts to harm infrastructure and threaten lives in NATO countries supporting Ukraine.

Poland has detained four individuals in connection with the investigation into these explosive parcels. Lithuania is also conducting an investigation, with arrests made in multiple countries.
