Summary
An incendiary device hidden in a DHL package that ignited in Germany in July was part of an alleged Russian sabotage plot targeting the UK, with intentions to test such attacks for possible future attempts on the US and Canada.
Disguised within shipments of massage pillows, the devices originated from Lithuania, with similar packages discovered in the UK and Poland. Authorities suspect Russian GRU involvement, aiming to cause “mayhem” in retaliation for Western support to Ukraine.
While Russia denies involvement, European intelligence warns these actions risk civilian lives, potentially causing plane crashes.

I really don’t see what Putin has to gain from this.
Helping strongman and Conservatives generally come to power.
Which strongmen? I don’t see this helping Trump.
The Republican’s strategy is for there to be as much chaos on and after election day as possible to make claims that the election was fraudulent more plausible. Imagine waking up tomorrow and seeing planes falling out of the sky. The panic could be the wedge Trump needs, if not to win, to at least plausibly claim victory.
