UK counter-terrorism police are investigating whether Russia was involved in placing an incendiary device on a flight bound for Britain, after a mysterious fire broke out at a DHL warehouse in Birmingham on July 22. The incident reportedly began when a device caught fire shortly after the plane’s arrival, raising alarms among UK and European authorities about a possible link to Moscow.
Details are still emerging, but security sources suggest this may be a new form of “covert aggression” from Russia aimed at creating chaos within the UK. With tensions already high due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and a strained relationship between Moscow and European nations, this incident has further heightened concerns about Russia’s reach and tactics. Counter-terrorism units are actively investigating, with officials taking extra precautions across the UK’s air cargo systems.
While definitive links are yet to be confirmed, European intelligence agencies are monitoring for any signals that suggest further attempts to disrupt British infrastructure.
