Irish security forces have concluded that the Kremlin organised a large-scale wave of messages about alleged mining of infrastructure facilities with the aim of sowing panic. This is reported by The Sunday Times. According to assessments by Irish intelligence services, these threats targeted schools, television and radio companies, as well as supermarkets.
Threats to flights
In addition, the Irish side accuses Russia of disseminating mass messages about bombs. Such threats were directed against at least 50 commercial flights operating between the United Kingdom, Ireland and continental European countries in both directions.
Security measures ahead of EU summit
Since an important EU summit will take place in the Irish capital next week, police and defence forces are preparing enhanced measures. It is planned to block access to some areas of central Dublin and introduce a no-fly zone to prevent the intrusion of hostile drones.
