# Wave of bomb threats in European air traffic

> On November 5, 2026, an Airbus A320 flying from Dublin to Rome was diverted to the Évreux Air Base after a bomb threat. That same day, twelve alerts were recorded across Europe, and around twenty flights and several airports were targeted by threats claimed by a pro-Russian extremist group, the "Combatants of the Masculine State." On November 6, four new alerts targeted planes flying over France, marking a fourth wave of threats disrupting European air traffic. Vladislav Pozdniakov, founder of the "Masculine State," denied any link, stating his small group had ceased to exist following its ban in Russia in 2021. On November 7, the Paris prosecutor's office opened an investigation into these false alerts, particularly to examine a potential link with foreign powers, while analysts question their use as a hybrid warfare tool.

## Coverage angles

The three political sides cover the opening of an investigation by the Paris prosecutor's office into a potential link with foreign powers, but distinguish themselves by their angles: the left emphasizes the context of the alert waves and the denial by the Russian group, the center focuses on the foreign lead and questions of responsibility, and the right focuses on the pilot's behavior and operational consequences.

**Common ground**

- The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into the false bomb threats targeting planes, particularly regarding a potential link with foreign powers.
- Several waves of bomb threats targeted European flights, including planes flying over France, and all affected flights landed without incident.
- An Airbus A320 flying from Dublin to Rome was diverted to the Évreux Air Base after a bomb threat.

**Differences**

- The left highlights the denial by the founder of the "Masculine State" group and the context of the claims, while the center and right focus more on the judicial investigation and the foreign lead.
- The right insists on the investigation into the pilot who allegedly refused to land at Évreux, an angle absent or underdeveloped in center articles.
- The left cites experts on saturation risks and pilot behavior, while the right cites an expert on the objective of exhaustion within a hybrid warfare logic.
