## Summary

Authorities inspected seven passenger planes across Europe after suspected bomb threats, including two flights from the UK. No explosives were found, and the threats have been cleared; officials are assessing whether the incidents were connected or intended to disrupt air travel.

The planes were checked in Italy, Spain, Poland and Bulgaria, with two Ryanair flights searched in Rome after anonymous tips. A Manchester to Murcia flight was evacuated on the runway, while a Heathrow flight bound for Warsaw was diverted to Modlin airport, which briefly closed. The UK government called the incidents malicious hoax threats.
