Summary

An incendiary device hidden in a DHL package that ignited in Germany in July was part of an alleged Russian sabotage plot targeting the UK, with intentions to test such attacks for possible future attempts on the US and Canada.

Disguised within shipments of massage pillows, the devices originated from Lithuania, with similar packages discovered in the UK and Poland. Authorities suspect Russian GRU involvement, aiming to cause “mayhem” in retaliation for Western support to Ukraine.

While Russia denies involvement, European intelligence warns these actions risk civilian lives, potentially causing plane crashes.
