TLDR
A September 24, 2026 Reuters report published by Internazionale says Denmark’s defence intelligence service expected more frequent hybrid attacks against the West, with greater consequences, in the following months. The service also saw a “low but growing risk” of a limited military attack on one or more NATO countries bordering Russia. Euronews reports that the service warned of possible destructive cyberattacks and considered an outright invasion of a NATO country “highly unlikely” but would not rule it out. It did not expect a conventional Russian attack on Denmark. Reuters reports that Russia’s embassy rejected the assessment as unsupported by credible evidence; Moscow has repeatedly denied involvement in hybrid warfare or sabotage in NATO countries.
