- More than two dozen flights faced threats this week.

## Summary

New bomb threats targeted Irish newsrooms and UK broadcaster Sky on Friday, adding media organisations to a wave of threats that has disrupted travel across Europe. RTÉ evacuated its buildings, while other organisations took security measures; the incidents come two days before Dublin hosts a high-level EU meeting.

It remains unclear whether one person or a co-ordinated group is behind the threats, though an RTÉ reporter said the group claiming Friday’s threats was the same as for earlier airline threats. More than two dozen flights were affected this week, and police in Denmark and the Czech Republic responded to threats later deemed false. Irish police and the Defence Forces are investigating, and Prime Minister Micheál Martin urged organisations to report threats.
