## Summary

Six threats on flights travelling to European airports on Tuesday prompted evacuations, security checks and temporary disruption, but no explosives were found. The incidents affected several countries, and authorities had not established whether the threats were connected.

The flights included LOT and SAS services to Warsaw, a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Murcia, a flight from Israel to Sofia, and Ryanair flights from Lisbon and Dublin to Rome. Warsaw-Modlin airport briefly closed after the LOT flight diverted from Heathrow; Rome scrambled Air Force jets, while the Sofia-bound aircraft was checked by counter-terrorism units. The alerts followed a Wizz Air flight diversion to Budapest on Monday and other recent false alarms across Europe.
