Italy's Crosetto says no confirmation of reported Russian drone threats to Italy, Spain and France
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto responded to a Spanish newspaper report alleging possible Russian drone attacks on the three countries.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said there is no confirmation of reports suggesting possible Russian drone attacks targeting Italy, Spain and France.
The reports originated with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, which had suggested the three European countries could face such attacks.
Crosetto's remarks, carried by Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform, appear aimed at tempering concerns raised by the Spanish media report without dismissing the broader context of heightened security tensions in Europe.
The statement comes amid ongoing concern across European countries about potential hybrid threats, including drone incursions, linked to the war in Ukraine and wider tensions with Russia.
Neither Crosetto nor other officials cited in the report provided additional details on the source or credibility of the original claims.
