A new wave of bomb threats has disrupted flights in Europe.

European airlines were once again the targets of a wave of bomb threats; The third case of this type of incident in the last week.

Officials say on Friday several flights to or from Lisbon, Rome, Prague and Sofia were threatened and three planes continued their journey escorted by Hungarian fighter jets.

At the same time, several media outlets, including Artiai Network, Ireland's national media outlet, were evacuated after receiving similar threats, although so far no connection between the threats to the airlines and the media has been confirmed.

This comes a few days after almost 30 planes and several airports in Europe faced similar threats. So far no explosives have been found in any of the target planes.

Meanwhile, the Russian extremist group "Milstate", whose name has been mentioned in some of the recent fake threats, has denied any connection to these warnings. In a Telegram message, this group mocked its role in sending threats and announced that it had nothing to do with this story.
