Danish police investigate threats directed at air traffic at Copenhagen airport; immediate assessment indicates no danger to passengers.
A wave of bomb threats were issued to passenger flights around Europe on Friday for the third time this week, as Spain’s foreign minister said the continent appeared to be facing “hybrid aggression and a form of psychological warfare”.
Hoax threats disrupted dozens of passenger flights across Europe on Thursday, forcing unplanned landings by some planes and prompting fighter jets to escort or intercept others, a dramatic escalation after an initial wave on Tuesday.
No explosive devices have been found and all planes have landed safely.
