Summary
Russia allegedly sent incendiary devices to DHL hubs in Germany and the U.K. in July, intending to test a sabotage route that could ignite fires on aircraft bound for North America, according to Western officials.
Polish authorities have arrested four suspects, with two more sought. The devices, disguised as electric massagers with flammable magnesium, sparked fires at DHL centers in Leipzig and Birmingham.
European intelligence reports an escalating Russian sabotage campaign targeting Western support for Ukraine, including railway disruptions and military base plots, alongside disinformation efforts to weaken support for Kyiv.
Sounds like the perfect excuse to subject any vehicle coming from a country that deals with Russia (cough China) to some additional time consuming bomb checks. They can’t say it’s tarrifs or unappropriate as there is a legitimate threat made.
