  "account": "COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Police in Denmark and the Czech Republic are investigating threats to air traffic on Friday, following a series of hoaxes that have disrupted travel across Europe this week. A Romanian plane received a bomb threat after landing in Bucharest, but it turned out to be a false alarm. In Copenhagen, police were on-site at the airport for the second day in a row to address the threats, confirming that there was no danger to passengers or the airport. Czech police also reported threats against planes, but security measures were in place to minimize disruption. In Ireland, Dublin's RTE headquarters was evacuated due to a bomb threat, leading to the postponement of live broadcasts. Ireland's police force is investigating the threat made against media organizations in Europe. Over two dozen flights were affected by threats earlier in the week, with some being diverted as authorities attempted to ensure passenger safety. Europe has witnessed a rise in various disruptions, including attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems, drone incursions, and alerts from warning apps. The recent surge in hoaxes comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and authorities' warnings that Russia may be escalating \"hybrid threats\" in Europe.",
