They are "aware of several parcels that have been posted by private individuals at locations in Europe and have caught fire on their way to their addressees in several European countries", according to a security notice obtained by the German Press Agency in Berlin.

This was sent to aviation and logistics companies by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). In security circles, a connection with Russian sabotage cannot be ruled out.
