Five flights in Europe receive bomb threats on the same day, Reuters reports

Five passenger flights operated by different airlines received bomb threats across Europe on the same day, prompting diversions, searches and airport disruption. The incidents affected several countries, but authorities have not established whether they were connected.

A LOT flight from London diverted to Modlin Airport instead of Warsaw Chopin, and operations at Modlin were suspended for several hours. An SAS flight from Copenhagen landed in Warsaw and was searched; a Wizz Air flight bound for Sofia diverted to Budapest; a flight from Israel made an emergency landing in Sofia; and a Ryanair flight from Manchester was searched in Murcia, Spain.
