Danish intelligence assessed a low but growing risk Russia could launch military attacks on Nato in coming months.

Denmark's defence intelligence service warned on Thursday of a low but growing risk that Russia could launch limited military attacks against Nato in the coming months. These could include long-range strikes on infrastructure supporting Ukraine, or a limited ground incursion into a neighbouring country with a small number of troops. The warning comes amid recent reports of alleged Russian sabotage, including a fire at a Starlink satellite station in Poland described as an act of sabotage. Estonia's foreign minister told Fox News Digital that intelligence sees no sign of a Russian military buildup for a full Nato invasion, though hybrid attacks remain a concern.
