Hoax bomb threats disrupt seven European flights
Seven flights across Europe were searched or diverted after bomb threats affected routes involving Poland, Spain, Bulgaria and Italy. Authorities found no explosives and described the incidents as false alarms or malicious hoaxes. Warsaw Modlin airport temporarily closed, and investigators had not determined whether the separate threats against several airlines were connected.
Why it matters
A small number of threats can disrupt several countries’ aviation systems even without an explosive device.
