NATO allies disrupted a Russian sabotage attempt targeting subsea communication cables in the North Atlantic, vital for transatlantic communications. Russian drone attacks with explosive warheads were reported near or inside multiple European countries including Romania, Poland, Germany, and Lithuania, with NATO forces intercepting or responding to these incursions. Several sabotage incidents affected critical infrastructure across Europe, including munitions depots in Bulgaria, railways in the Netherlands and France, and a weapons storage site in Bulgaria, with investigations ongoing into Russian involvement. Russian military intelligence and other state actors are implicated in coordinated hybrid warfare operations, including espionage, sabotage, and influence campaigns aimed at destabilizing NATO member states such as Latvia. Russian naval provocations involved firing flares at Danish surveillance helicopters in international waters, resulting in a diplomatic protest by Denmark.
