Danish intelligence warns Russia will escalate hybrid attacks on NATO

Denmark's defense intelligence service warned Thursday that Russia is likely to intensify hybrid attacks against the West and NATO in the coming months, citing a new threat assessment. The assessment says Russia will conduct more frequent attacks with greater consequences, and notes a low but growing risk of a limited military strike on NATO border countries, potentially involving drones, missiles, or troop deployments to divide the alliance. The warning follows Germany blaming Russia for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, and a recent incident where a Russian frigate fired flares near a Danish military helicopter.
