Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Warsaw-Modlin Airport was closed after a bomb threat prompted an unscheduled landing of a plane from London Heathrow. The flight, carrying 181 passengers, diverted to Modlin instead of its original destination, Warsaw Chopin Airport. Security services verified the alert at Modlin while another plane from Copenhagen underwent checks at Chopin Airport without closing it. Later reports indicated that two planes from the UK and one from Manchester faced threats, leading to emergency landings in Poland, Spain, Bulgaria, and Italy, with seven flights targeted across Europe. The incidents raised suspicions of a coordinated attack, potentially linked to Russia amid concerns over escalating tensions with NATO countries.
