Russia Linked to Air Cargo Sabotage Plot

European and U.S. intelligence officials suspect Russia orchestrated a covert operation involving incendiary devices shipped from Lithuania, aimed at igniting explosions on cargo flights to North America. In July, parcels containing explosives caused fires at DHL logistics centers in the UK and Germany, raising alarms about a potential escalation in Russian sabotage efforts against NATO countries. Polish authorities have arrested four individuals linked to these incidents, with investigations suggesting Russian intelligence involvement. Analysts warn that if these reports are confirmed, it would represent a significant escalation in the ongoing hostilities between Russia and the West. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has increased security measures for cargo shipments to the U.S. in response to these threats. Despite these developments, U.S. officials currently state there is no active threat against flights bound for the United States.
