A lot of new people found this account today - thank you so much for following.

I’ll continue to track, report, and get comments on major military and security activity like what we saw today.

Also, a quick plug: I run Grey Zone Europe:

It's a small independent project tracking and mapping hybrid incidents, suspicious activity, and security developments across Europe. Any feedback is appreciated!

🇩🇰 NEW: DANISH POLICE IMPOSE 60-HOUR AIRSPACE RESTRICTIONS - REASON NOT DISCLOSED

A new aviation notice (NOTAM A2147/26) confirms that a temporary restricted airspace zone will be activated around Copenhagen Airport from November 9 at 18:00 UTC until November 12 at 06:00 UTC.

KEY DETAILS:

• AREA: A 7-nautical-mile (13 km) radius centred near Copenhagen Airport, covering large parts of Copenhagen and Amager.

• ALTITUDE: From the surface to 2,500 feet above mean sea level.

• RESTRICTIONS: Aircraft require prior air traffic control permission to operate within the zone.

• EXEMPTIONS: Scheduled traffic to and from Copenhagen Airport and Copenhagen Seaplane Base, search-and-rescue operations, medical helicopters, police and military aircraft.

• EMERGENCY RESPONSE: Drones supporting emergency operations may also operate in coordination with Copenhagen Police.

Copenhagen Police have not publicly disclosed the reason for the restrictions.

The announcement comes days after Copenhagen Airport was affected by aviation bomb threats, but no connection between the incidents and the restrictions has been established.

Regular scheduled airline operations are exempt from the restrictions.

🇸🇪🇩🇰 NEW: OVER 350,000 SAS PASSENGERS AFFECTED BY MAJOR AIRLINE BOOKING DATA BREACH

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has reported a suspected data breach affecting 350,164 passengers, according to a notification filed with Sweden's data protection authority (IMY), reviewed by SVT.

The incident is linked to unauthorized access to systems operated by Amadeus, a major international airline booking technology provider.

KEY DETAILS:

• 350,164 PEOPLE: SAS says passengers' booking information may have been exposed.

• EXPOSED DATA: Booking references, dates, flight-related information and passenger counts.

• METHOD: An unauthorized actor reportedly used compromised system credentials to conduct automated searches within Amadeus' booking environment.

• INVESTIGATION: SAS says the affected information primarily concerns older bookings and completed journeys.

• NOTIFICATIONS: SAS currently assesses the incident as presenting no high risk under GDPR and does not plan to notify passengers individually unless new information changes that assessment.

WIDER SECURITY CONCERNS:

Norway's National Security Authority (NSM) warned on November 6 that a threat actor had access to Amadeus systems for at least three years.

Depending on the booking, exposed information across the wider incident may include passport details, nationalities, contact information and travel itineraries.

Several other airlines, including Norwegian, Singapore Airlines and Japan Airlines, have also reported being affected.

Amadeus says the vulnerability was addressed and that it has found no evidence of financial data being accessed.

The identity and motives of the threat actor remain unconfirmed.

🇳🇴🇷🇺 NEW: NORWEGIAN PM WHO SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH PUTIN DOUBTS HE IS READY FOR PEACE

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has expressed serious doubts about Vladimir Putin's willingness to end the war in Ukraine, ahead of US-mediated peace talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11.

Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb held a 90-minute phone call with Putin on October 27.

Speaking to POLITICO, Støre offered a cautious assessment of the upcoming negotiations.

KEY POINTS:

• PUTIN'S INTENTIONS: Støre questioned whether Putin genuinely wants peace, arguing that the war could already have ended if that were his intention.

• ABU DHABI TALKS: Støre cautioned against expecting a major breakthrough, describing the negotiations as a stepping stone that should lead to further talks.

• POSSIBLE AGREEMENTS: Discussions could include ceasefires in the Black Sea and against energy infrastructure, prisoner exchanges and measures to reduce hostilities.

• DIRECT DIPLOMACY: Despite his scepticism, Støre acknowledged that Putin's willingness to take the call suggests at least some readiness to engage in negotiations.

The remarks come while there are disagreements between European governments over direct engagement with Moscow and Europe's role in the peace process.

🇧🇪 NEW: BRUSSELS AIRLINES INTRODUCED ADDITIONAL FUEL PRECAUTIONS FOLLOWING EUROPEAN BOMB THREATS

I have obtained information showing that Brussels Airlines introduced additional fuel precautions in response to the recent wave of bomb threats targeting European aviation.

According to operational communications I have reviewed, the airline instructed that additional fuel be included in flight planning for aircraft arriving at Brussels Airport.

The measure was explicitly linked to the recent bomb threats affecting European airports and described as a preventive step intended to provide an additional operational safety margin.

WHAT THE AIRLINES SAID:

🇧🇪 BRUSSELS AIRLINES: When contacted for confirmation and clarification, Senior Media Relations Manager Joëlle Neeb responded:

"You are referring to internal operational communications, which we do not comment on."

The airline did not confirm the scope or current status of the measure.

🇫🇮 FINNAIR: I also contacted several European airlines to establish whether similar precautions had been introduced.

Finnair was the only other airline to provide a substantive response at the time of publication.

"Flight safety is our highest priority, and we take every potential security threat seriously. We have a clear process in place for situations like these," Finnair stated.

The airline emphasised close cooperation with airport stakeholders and relevant authorities but did not confirm whether additional fuel precautions had been implemented.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

The findings indicate that the recent wave of bomb threats has influenced operational planning beyond the aircraft directly targeted, with precautions intended to mitigate potential disruptions.

The measure's current status remains unconfirmed.

Further responses from European carriers are still pending.
