  "summary": "A new wave of bomb threats targeted passenger flights across Europe on Friday, marking the third such occurrence this week. In the Czech Republic, authorities registered threats involving four inbound and five outbound flights at Prague airport; an airport spokesperson stated that no explosive devices were found and no flights were diverted or cancelled, though an Italian airport authority source noted a Wizz Air flight from Prague to Rome was diverted to Venice and landed safely. Le Monde English reported that threats also targeted two flights to Sofia and one to Rome.\n\nDanish police investigated threats directed at air traffic at Copenhagen airport on Friday, though the airport reported it was operating normally and police assessed there was no immediate danger to passengers. Additionally, the French prime minister’s office reported that four new bomb threats were made to aircraft flying over French territory, all of which landed safely.\n\nThese incidents follow widespread disruption on Thursday, which Egypt Independent reported affected at least 25 flights through diversions or emergency landings. According to the same outlet, eight of those cases were linked to Italy, where an email signed by a group calling itself “Male State Fighters” was sent to Fiumicino Airport. Sofia Airport administration in Bulgaria received a similar message with the same signature. Dawn reported that Spain’s foreign minister described the situation as \"hybrid aggression and a form of psychological warfare.\"",
