Officials in several European countries reported a new round of bomb threats against passenger flights on Friday, Nov. 6, after similar hoaxes earlier in the week forced escorts, diversions and delays^2,3,9.

No explosives were found on the aircraft involved as of Friday, and planes that were targeted landed safely, according to accounts from BBC and ABC News Australia^3,9.

Hungarian authorities said fighter jets escorted civilian airliners after threats, including flights through Hungarian airspace, and Hungary's defense minister said jets were scrambled in response to threats involving passenger aircraft^2,3,9.

Czech police registered threats against multiple Prague flights, while France reported several of its flights were targeted; an IAG executive said the apparent aim was disruption at airports^2,3.

The same day, newsrooms in Ireland received identically worded emails claiming bombs had been left in their offices, Politico Europe reported, naming RTÉ, Virgin Media television, the Irish Independent and Newstalk².

Irish police found no suspicious devices; some newsrooms were evacuated and programs were interrupted, while other staff kept broadcasts running^2,3.

The Irish government said it was not yet known who was responsible but that the media threats followed aviation disruption and appeared likely to be a coordinated campaign^2,3.

Spain's foreign minister said identical methods across Europe did not look coincidental and described possible hybrid aggression, ABC News Australia and Politico Europe reported^2,9.

Ireland is due to host high-profile European meetings in Dublin, and an Irish official told Politico Europe the spike in threats was probably linked to that calendar^2,3.

Emails described in Australian reporting used a purported sender name associated in public discussion with a far-right movement in Russia; Reuters, as cited there, could not verify the sender or a link to the flight threats⁹.

BBC said no concrete link had been established between airline threats and those against broadcasters³.

Who organized the messages, whether they share a single source, and whether any state is involved remain unconfirmed^2,3,9.
