BRUSSELS — NATO’s top military commander said the alliance is expanding intelligence sharing after suspected Russian-linked sabotage and hybrid attacks. Recent incidents include an attempted drone attack at Germany’s Leipzig/Halle Airport and a Russian vessel firing flares toward a Danish military helicopter.
Danish intelligence assesses that the risk of a limited Russian attack against a NATO border state remains low but is increasing. Moscow denies responsibility for hybrid attacks in Europe.
Why it matters: Better intelligence coordination may help NATO detect attacks designed to create disruption while remaining below the threshold of conventional war.
