## Summary

Newsrooms in Ireland and Bulgaria received emailed bomb threats on Friday, adding to a wave of hoax threats that has disrupted flights across Europe since Tuesday. The incidents have raised concern among European officials that the threats may form part of a campaign of hybrid disruption intended to unsettle countries supporting Ukraine, though the sender and any link between the messages remain unconfirmed.

The threats targeted Bulgaria’s Nova TV and Ireland’s RTÉ, which evacuated its offices and suspended programming; Britain’s Sky also reported a security threat. No explosives were found and all aircraft landed safely, but around six flights were disrupted on Tuesday and more than two dozen on Thursday, with some diverted or escorted by fighter jets. On Friday, a Wizz Air flight was diverted to Venice, Hungarian jets escorted several airliners, and a Romanian defence minister said NATO had ordered air patrols; Russia denies involvement.
