Russia Accused of Targeting US Flights with Explosive Parcels
TL;DR Summary
Polish prosecutors have accused Russian intelligence services of orchestrating a series of parcel explosions in courier depots across Europe, which could have led to air disasters on flights to the US and Canada. The incidents in July affected depots in Britain, Germany, and Poland, and are seen as part of Russia's efforts to destabilize Ukraine's allies. Poland is searching for two Russians and has detained four Ukrainians in connection with the case. Russia has denied involvement and summoned a Canadian diplomat to reject the allegations.
