Jul 9, 2024, 07:40 PM

Last week, for the first time in a decade, U.S. military bases across Europe were placed on a heightened state of alert. This decision followed intelligence reports indicating that Russian-backed actors were considering sabotage attacks against U.S. military personnel and facilities. The alert status was raised as a precautionary measure to protect U.S. assets and personnel in response to the potential threat. The intelligence suggested that Russia had included U.S. bases and military personnel as targets for these attacks. The increased security measures were confirmed by multiple sources, including CNN and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
