A wave of bomb threats caused disruptions to several flights across Europe on Tuesday, including a plane that departed from Israel. The Israeli flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Sofia, Bulgaria, after receiving an email threat. This marks the fourth such incident reported in Europe recently, with other flights also receiving similar warnings. In Poland, a flight from London made an unscheduled landing in Warsaw-Modlin, carrying 181 passengers, where security checks were conducted. Another flight bound for Warsaw Chopin Airport from Copenhagen also received a bomb alert but landed without incident. In Spain, a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Murcia, with 121 passengers, also experienced an emergency landing due to a threat. These events follow a similar alert the previous day involving a Wizz Air flight from London, which made an emergency landing in Budapest under escort by a Hungarian fighter jet. The series of incidents has raised concerns about the security of European air traffic. So far, no explosive devices have been found on any of the affected aircraft. The origin of the threats and any potential connection between these alerts are still under investigation.
