Putin watches as Europe panics: Newsrooms under attack after supermarkets, blood banks, flights...?

Emailed bomb threats sent under the name “Mikhail Andropov” prompted evacuations and broadcast interruptions at Ireland’s RTÉ and Bulgaria’s Nova TV, Reuters reported on November 6. Sky also reported a security threat, while similar threats disrupted European flights earlier in the week. The incidents come ahead of high-profile Dublin summits and amid European concerns over hybrid operations aimed at spreading fear and disrupting essential services. Officials have pointed to suspected Russian involvement in the wider campaign.
