Berlin

On 3 Nov, bomb threats against at least seven flights and a cruise ship led to diversions, searches and temporary airport closures across Europe. Police and bomb-disposal teams found no explosives on any aircraft or the ship. Affected services included LOT, SAS, Wizz Air and Ryanair flights linked to Warsaw, Sofia, Rome and Murcia, and Warsaw Chopin Airport closed briefly. Authorities said all aircraft landed safely and no one was injured.

More than 100 police officers receive medical treatment after clashes in Frankfurt and other German cities on 1 Nov, where water cannons and tear gas are deployed and dozens of shops are looted. The unrest, organised by the GenZ regelt! movement, sees tens of thousands of young demonstrators across Germany demanding action on rising living costs, education cuts and military expansion. Interior Minister Roman Poseck estimates 1,000‑1,500 violent participants, including about 100 left‑wing extremists infiltrating the Frankfurt protest. Authorities deploy 1,300 officers, arrest 54 youths and recover stolen weapons from a gun store.
