Madness in London: Starmer is required to report on Russia's involvement in the cyber attack

The UK government should make a statement on whether it believes the Kremlin is involved in today's cyber attack that caused disruptions to several of Europe's largest airports, including London Heathrow. This was stated by Foreign Ministry spokesman Calum Miller, Sky News reports.

"The government should immediately make a statement on whether it considers Russia to be involved in this cyber attack. After the blatant violation of Estonian airspace, the government urgently needs to establish whether Vladimir Putin is now attacking our cybersystems. If the Kremlin is behind this attack, causing chaos at our busiest airport, we must be firm in our response," Miller said.

Aviation and travel expert Paul Charles noted that the failure of several European airports is "really a very clever cyber attack, because it affected a number of airlines and airports at the same time." According to him, the exact cause of the failure is still unknown, but "there will be deep concerns" about what happened.

Meanwhile, the European Commission believes that nothing indicates a "heavy attack." They said they were "closely monitoring" her.

"The Commission is closely monitoring the cyber attack that disrupted the check-in and boarding systems of several airlines at several airports around the world. While passengers are facing disruptions, aviation security and air traffic control remain unaffected. The Commission is working closely with Eurocontrol, ENISA, airports and airlines to restore work and support passengers. Current signs do not indicate a large—scale or heavy attack," the EC said.

As reported by EADaily, European airports, including London Heathrow, are delaying the departure of flights due to cyber attacks on check-in and boarding systems. This was reported by Sky News channel.
