Many places in Europe have encountered bomb threats and cyber attacks one after another, raising concerns about the safety of civilian facilities.

China News Service, November 7. Comprehensive news: Recently, bomb threats and cyber attacks have occurred in many places in Europe, affecting the operations of some flights, media organizations and supermarkets. Although the relevant incidents have not yet caused serious consequences, the successive occurrences of similar situations have attracted the attention of many European countries, and all parties are beginning to investigate the connections behind the incidents and the people behind them.

On the 6th, a new round of bomb threats disrupted air traffic in many places in Europe. All affected flights landed safely, and no explosive devices were found in related searches.

According to the British "Guardian" report, the latest round of threats has affected at least 18 flights to and from Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania and the United Kingdom.

Danish police are also investigating a threat against Copenhagen Airport, but airport management said airport operations were not affected.

According to reports, on the 3rd and 5th of this month, multiple similar threats occurred in various places in Europe, resulting in at least 35 flights being forced to divert or undergo searches. This series of incidents has triggered concerns that someone is deliberately causing chaos and disrupting passenger travel.

In addition, an Irish media organization was also threatened on the 6th, causing broadcast programs to be interrupted and staff to be evacuated. Police subsequently launched searches of relevant offices and newsrooms.

Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin said such threats must be taken seriously. He said it showed how easy it was to create chaos and disrupt the normal functioning of society. European security agencies will work to identify those responsible and hold them accountable.

British Sky TV said on the 6th that the agency had also received security threats and had reported them to relevant departments.

Earlier this week, supermarket refrigeration systems in at least seven European countries were hit by cyberattacks.

Italian Prime Minister Meloni said it was unclear whether there was a connection between these hoax threats and recent cyber attacks. She pointed out that the attacks were all on civilian infrastructure.

Investigators said there is currently no evidence that the hoax threats against airlines and other targets were planned by hostile terrorist groups or state actors, but the investigation remains ongoing.

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Alvarez said authorities would need more time to identify those behind the incidents, but there appeared to be a common pattern between the incidents.

In an interview with Spanish national radio and television, he said that it was no coincidence that so many incidents with exactly the same modus operandi occurred across Europe. He believes that Europe must prepare for more such challenges. (over)
