Recent reports suggest that Russia may have been involved in a covert plot to send incendiary devices on flights bound for the United States and Canada. According to the *Wall Street Journal* (WSJ), Western security officials believe that devices ignited in Germany and the United Kingdom in July were part of a Russian operation aimed at testing the feasibility of setting fires aboard international flights.

 

The incidents in question took place at DHL logistics hubs in Leipzig, Germany, and Birmingham, United Kingdom. Explosions occurred in July, sparking a swift investigation into those responsible. A spokesperson from DHL Express later told CNN that the company is “aware of two recent incidents involving shipments in our network,” and confirmed that they are “cooperating with the relevant authorities” to understand what happened and prevent similar occurrences. The incendiary devices in question were reported to be electric massagers containing a magnesium-based flammable substance. These packages were reportedly sent from Lithuania to the UK, seemingly as part of a test run to examine how such materials could be smuggled onto planes bound for North America.

 

The WSJ also reached out to Russia for comment on the alleged plot. Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, dismissed the accusations, stating, “We have never heard any official accusations” and referred to the report as another example of “traditional unsubstantiated insinuations from the media.”

 

Meanwhile, Polish authorities recently announced the arrest of four individuals suspected of participating in international sabotage activities, while an additional two suspects remain under an international search warrant. According to a statement from Poland’s national prosecutor’s office, this group was involved in sending “parcels containing camouflaged explosives and dangerous materials” to various countries in the European Union and the United Kingdom. The explosives in these parcels reportedly ignited or detonated spontaneously during land and air transport. Authorities believe the group’s ultimate goal was to assess the transfer channels of these dangerous shipments in order to ultimately direct them toward the United States and Canada.

 

In the UK, a spokesperson from the counter-terrorism police confirmed that they are “investigating an incident at a commercial premises in Midpoint Way” in Birmingham. On July 22, a package reportedly caught fire at the location, though it was quickly contained by staff and the local fire brigade. “There were no reports of any injuries or significant damage caused,” the spokesperson noted.

More like "We ignore any official accusations."

The Putin regime is incapable of truth outside its propaganda.
