Ireland’s government said the fake bomb threats sent to Irish news outlets were likely part of a coordinated campaign of disruption.

RTÉ, Virgin Media, Newstalk radio and The Irish Independent all received threats that turned out to be hoaxes, and police were sent to their offices.
The government said it is not yet known who is responsible for the threats, whether individuals or a centralized effort, and that police are working with military, cyber, aviation and European authorities. Eurocontrol recorded threats against 14 flights on Thursday, 0.05% of the nearly 26,300 flights across the European network that day, and seven on Tuesday. In Hungary, Defense Minister Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi said fighter jets escorted three passenger planes within an hour. The office of French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu reported four new threats against aircraft over French territory, with the planes landing at Orly. No suspicious items were found and no one was injured.
