Russia was responsible for sending two incendiary devices to DHL logistics hubs in Germany and the United Kingdom earlier this year as part of a wider sabotage campaign to possibly start fires aboard aircraft bound for North America, a Western security official said. Polish authorities have arrested four people and are searching for two more in connection with the case, according to government officials and Polish media.

German and British authorities said they were investigating two incidents in July, in which one package burst into flames and another exploded. Poland’s national prosecutor’s office said the saboteurs’ goal was to test sending parcels that would ultimately be sent to the U.S. and Canada. U.S. officials said it has bolstered air cargo screening over the past several months.
