Spain identified as potential target for Russian hybrid attacks

Spain faces potential hybrid threats from Russia, according to CIA reports. Intelligence suggests Russia could utilize Gerbera drones, launched from merchant ships with a 600-kilometer range, to conduct attacks against Spain, France, and Italy. These potential actions are viewed as a response to military support for Ukraine and could serve to destabilize the region ahead of upcoming elections.

Additionally, the Spanish government is navigating diplomatic tensions following recent events in Ceuta. While the administration initially characterized the situation as a violation of territorial integrity, it was later described as a migration crisis. The current geopolitical landscape is further complicated by shifts in international energy policy and relations with major powers like the United States and Russia.
