US Intelligence Warning: Russia May Target Europe With Drones
The CIA has warned several European governments of a possible Russian drone operation that could target Spain, France or Italy, according to diplomatic and security sources.
The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has warned a number of European governments that Russia could carry out a drone operation targeting European countries, including Spain, France and Italy.
Spanish newspaper El Mundo cited diplomatic and security sources as saying the US warning came as part of an intelligence exchange with the European governments concerned, without specifying a timeframe or precise details of the potential operation.
Moscow has not yet commented on the warning, while the European governments concerned have not announced any additional precautionary measures following the leak of this information.
The warning comes amid growing European concerns over a possible Russian escalation targeting countries on the continent, against a backdrop of tensions between Moscow and the West that have persisted for years.
