SUMMARY

Multiple European flights reported bomb threats, prompting diversions, emergency landings and military escorts across France, Bulgaria, Italy, Belgium and the Czech Republic. An Aer Lingus Dublin–Rome flight landed safely at Evreux military base after declaring an in-flight emergency; all 151 passengers and six crew are safe.

Bulgaria said three aircraft made emergency landings in Sofia and Plovdiv. Czech police assessed threats as low credibility but activated security and pyrotechnic inspections.

The incidents follow at least seven similar recent threats. Matthew Borie of Osprey Flight Solutions said the focus on Europe "could be a Russian angle".
