A wave of bomb threats against commercial flights led today (Tuesday) to emergency landings for four aircraft departing from London, Copenhagen, Manchester, and Israel. According to reports from the Guardian and Index.hu, all flights landed safely and local security forces initiated security sweeps. Operations at Warsaw-Modlin Airport have resumed, although part of the terminal remains closed. Concurrently, Maariv reported that a flight from Israel made an emergency landing in Sofia following a similar threat. Further details regarding the identity of suspects or any potential link between these events have not yet been released.
