Bomb threat on a plane from London. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Poland.

A Polish LOT passenger aircraft flying from London Heathrow to Warsaw was forced to divert to Warsaw-Modlin airport after receiving a bomb threat seven minutes before landing. The Boeing 737 MAX landed safely at 10:01 local time with 181 people on board, prompting emergency services and police explosives experts to secure the scene. Warsaw-Modlin airport was closed indefinitely while authorities inspected the aircraft, which had been moved to a designated area for safety checks. Passengers were allowed to exit the plane but were required to remain inside the terminal building during the investigation. No explosive device has been confirmed yet, and the origin of the threat remains unknown. The report notes a similar incident occurred the previous day involving a Wizz Air flight from London to Sofia, which was diverted to Budapest and escorted by a Hungarian fighter jet.
