• Under investigation: bomb threat at RTÉ and Dublin media offices Bomb threat · Co. Dublin

  On Friday 6 November 2026, an email bomb threat was sent to RTÉ and scores of media organisations in Ireland and the UK, claiming an operative had planted an explosive device and giving staff 45 minutes to evacuate. RTÉ studios in Donnybrook, Dublin 4, and offices of Newstalk, Mediahuis, Virgin Media and Sky News were cleared, with gardaí searching the RTÉ campus with sniffer dogs. The email was signed by a person calling himself Mikhail Andropov, who described himself as one of the leaders of the group behind recent airline bomb threats across Europe. The threats arrived ahead of two major European political summits in Dublin during Ireland's EU Council presidency. An Garda Síochána, working with the Defence Forces and cyber and aviation authorities, are investigating whether the threats represent a coordinated campaign.
