Quick Summary

On Thursday, at least 25 European flights were grounded due to bomb hoaxes, including threats from a purported anti-feminist group called the “Fighters of the Male State.” These groups claimed they would “turn the skies red” and vowed to target Italy’s feminist Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Affected flights included an Aer Lingus plane diverted to Evreux military base in France and a Finn Air flight from Helsinki to Rome that landed safely after reporting threats. European officials have linked these attacks to Russia, although Moscow denies involvement.

Story summary

On November 5, 2026, a new wave of bomb hoaxes disrupted dozens of passenger flights across Europe, marking the third major outbreak in less than a week. The threats prompted unplanned landings and fighter jet escorts for some planes. Affected airlines included Ryanair, LOT Polish Airlines, and Scandinavian carriers. In response to earlier threats on November 3, two Ryanair flights from Lisbon and Dublin, as well as other European routes, were forced into emergency landings after receiving bomb threats. Security experts speculate that the incidents could be either individuals acting out of personal grievances or more coordinated "hybrid attacks" aimed at destabilizing Europe amid geopolitical tensions.
